BIO UPDATE (1/16/21):  Unfortunately, until the border re-opens, we can not accept Canadian applications at this time.

Max has settled into our foster home and he is a very sweet boy! He has embraced daily walks and gets excited when he sees his leash. He loves to cuddle and being petted and will nudge your hand for more.

Max will let you know when its meal time as that is his favorite time of the day.

He does have some medical issues that require daily medications. That will be an additional cost but he is so worth it.

He sleeps well thru the night, currently in an open crate. Max gets along well with our female and respects her. He seems to be fully housetrained... not one accident so far!

Max so deserves his own forever home who will love and care for him! Are you that home?

BIO:  Max came from a shelter in north Georgia. We can’t imagine why anyone would turn him in! In just a few words he’s sweet, friendly, and gets along with all dogs. He does like to beg from the table but we don’t give him people food and no one should. It's not good for him. Our wish list for Max includes:

• A fenced yard is a must
• Another dog or two to pal around with
• Someone who is home a lot to keep him company because he does love his people
• No apartments or high rises

After coming into rescue, Max had his gall bladder removed. He has fully recovered and is doing fine without it! During his initial vet exam, we also found he has a 4/6 heart murmur but no clinical signs of distress. He is on two medications to help with the blood flow.

Max loves to cuddle with either you or your dog. He is one of the easiest fosters we've had!

Please keep in mind that not only will you have the monthly heartworm prevention but you'll also have Vetmedin and Enalapril to purchase each month. Sadly, Max also has dry eyes so he'll need artificial tears.

Don’t let any of that scare you off... he is a dream to foster! 

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.
