WE BELEIVE THAT RUSTY WAS AN ONLY DOG AND THAT IS WHY HE IS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HAVING OTHER DOGS AROUND.
RUSTY came from a shelter in central FL where he was going to be put down because he bit a shelter male. We told them that we'd take him and now that he's out of the shelter he's doing fine. Came right to his foster mom but his foster dad he's going to need time to warm up to but we think that will happen. Dachshunds do not do well in shelters and will turn aggressive in them if kept in them for a period of time. He is very very sweet from what we can see. We will add more to his bio as we learn more so STAY TUNED!!
NO KIDS for RUSTY. He would do fine in a home with a husband and wife or an all female home. Does not get along with all male dogs but is fine with female dogs. Must have a fenced in yard. Loves to sleep in the big bed. When the foster mom is gone RUSTY gets up in the chair with foster dad but prefers mom. He rides great and walks well on a leash. If you have the time to work with RUSTY then he's got time for you. Please give him the home he deserves.


Thank you for looking at our rescue dogs, please know that if you don't see one you like on the website to check back weekly becuase we get dachshunds in almost daily and they ALL need homes. Please look at some of ours that are older(they still need homes) or ones that have been on our website for sometime. They need a home too. Keep in mind we do not ship cargo so please do not ask us too. We have volunteer transports, paid transports or you can drive or fly to get your NEW BEST FRIEND.

Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

Good with Dogs, Is Not Good with Kids

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.
