BIO:  Riley came from New York when his owner had to move and the rental didn’t accept pets. He’s been feeling a bit puny here as of late because he caught a slight infection from his dental. He’s going to be on antibiotics for another 2 weeks, but his foster dad can already tell that Riley is a perfect gentleman!! Riley gets along with just about anyone or any other dog. We don’t know about cats, but his temperament suggests that he will get along with anyone else who attempts to get along with him.

Riley loves being with people! He wants to cuddle in a chair, recliner, or the big bed. What a sweet, sweet boy! He will make a wonderful addition to any family!

Our must haves for handsome Riley include:

• A fenced yard
• Another small dog for him to cuddle with or for company if you are out and about
• No apartments or high rises
• Might be best if you or someone is home more as he does love his people

Riley is a very calm, laid-back boy choosing to chill while other pups are running about. Give him a bed and feed him two squares and he’s a happy boy. No small children, neither your children or grandchildren, as the running and screaming might be too much for him.

Will you be the lucky family to welcome Riley?

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 dachshunds back or get bitten.

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.  If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $55 fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states.  If you have an issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

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.
