BIO:  Rodger's mamma came from Texas very pregnant and 10 days later, she had 8 puppies (sadly 3 did not survive). Momma is a Dachshund-Miniature Pinscher mix but momma won’t say what daddy was, other than he didn’t stick around. Little Rodger's needs include:

• Absolutely no apartments
• A fenced yard
• Someone to be home a lot to housetrain (even after the pandemic)
• Another younger small dog or cat to play with
• No children under 10 years, no exceptions
• Due to the risk of Parvo approved adopters will need to come to TN to pick up the puppy

Rodger is learning to play with toys and his other brothers and sisters. Rodger is clearly going to be a black and tan like his momma. He is more calm than his other brothers but is beginning to learn to use his voice and to play.

He will not be able to go to his forever home until after the 3^rd of June when he gets his 2^nd set of puppy shots; his adopter will need to get him the 3^rd set and the Rabies vaccination.

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.
