BIO (10/3/2019):  Hello all!  My name is Dora and I’m looking for someone to love me and I will give you all my love!!  I’m in a foster home with cats and dogs and don’t have a problem with any of them.  I don’t know why I ended up in rescue, but everyone has taken care of me and my problems.  I had some teeth removed, double cherry eye surgery (now I have dry eye and will need eyedrops every day), double ear infections, and lost some weight.  Now all of that is in the past and I am super ready for my forever home.

I love going in and out the doggie door and would need to have one at my new home so I can explore the outside, bark at the squirrels, and let my foster mom know if someone is coming too close to the house.  I love all the toys and the other dachshunds in the home.  I get along with everyone, love to walk on my leash, am crate trained, good on car rides, and would love to have a family of my very own.  

Please, if you are looking for a love bug then you have found me, Dora!!

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.
