BIO:  Landon came from West Tennessee when a Good Samarian bought him off Craiglist. The people that sold him got him to be a breeder dog and when they discovered he was not going to be a mini, they dumped him. The Good Samarian bought him and then asked rescue to take him.

He is very shy but is coming around slowly. He will potty outside if you are out with him as he wants to be where you are all the time. He needs someone who understands that and will patiently work with him to be more social and help him get the confidence he needs to be a pet.

Our wish list for this handsome fellow includes:

• A fenced yard
• No apartment or high-rises
• Someone who home a lot
• Someone who understands separation anxiety and will help him to overcome that

This boy is so sweet and with time, he’ll be a wonderful dog!

============== 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. 

There will be an additional $55 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state they are being fostered in. 

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.
