BIO:  Groucho was adopted from us 5 years ago but unfortunately his owner passed away and the family could not keep him, so he came back to us.  Groucho has put on a little weight but we are working to get that off.  He’ll be down to his boxing weight soon.  Groucho:

• Must have a fenced yard
• Needs another dog to keep him company since he had one with his previous owner and her family
• Would love if someone was home with him a lot
• Loves to go for walks on a leash

Because Groucho is a soft coated wire, he will need to be groomed.  You must figure that into the cost of caring for him.  He is getting accustomed to a doggie door again so he would need to be kept on a schedule until he will let you know he has to go out.  Groucho pretty much ignores the other dogs at the foster home but we are not sure he’d be able to handle being alone for long periods of time.

Please email Groucho’s foster mom if you have any questions.  Thank you for thinking of 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.
