BIO:  Dixie came from Alabama where she was turned over to us because she doesn’t like females and got in a fight with the nephew’s dog. Our wishes for Dixie include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot
• No apartment or high rises

Dixie is a sweet, happy girl and loves everyone! She was well-socialized as a puppy and it shows in the way she meets strangers. We have her at our Halfway House with several other foster dogs, male and female, and she gets along with all of them just fine. She does need to lose about 2-3 pounds so she can be down to a good weight.

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.
