I don't know what that means but if it means I was out on the streets with no one to call my own, no roof over my head, no food to eat, then yes, I was a stray! If you ask me, it's a silly name for a homeless man! I'm not homeless anymore, though, since a nice lady took me in. I'm so handsome and handy so I know that I will be a valuable member of a nice family very soon. See, I know how to give lots of love so that makes me very useful! My potty habits are good and I get along with other dogs and children. And fine with cats. I only weigh 13 lbs. and my doctor said that was just right for a nice little man like me. I can tell you that I promise to be your best friend and companion and snugglin' bed buddy. I don't walk well on a leash so I really need a fenced in yard. Please get in touch with my foster mom if you'd like for me to take up permanent residency at your house. Out of state and Canidian adoptions are welcome, we have several transporters that for a fee will bring the dog as close to you as possible. A home visit is required. We also micro chip all our dogs and must pass the cost on to the adopter. It is only $10.00. Thank you for your interested in a rescue.

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund's back or get bitten.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
