BIO:  Abby came from a family in Indiana when the owner passed and the family could not keep her. We are looking for a family that understands she was with her owner 24/7 and wants to be with you all the time so someone who is home a lot is what’s best for Abby.  In the foster home she was good with a kitten but we are not sure how she would handle it if the cat ran. Abby likes to be told she’s a good girl and she likes belly rubs!

Our wish list for adorable Abby includes:

• A fenced yard this is a must
• No apartment or high-rises due to some possible barking
• Someone who is home all the time or at least a lot; she does settle down after she’s left alone and just sleeps

If you are interested in this sweet girl, please fill out our online adoption application.  

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

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.

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 MidWest. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
