BIO: Dexter (Bubba) as we call him, is a lovely young dog. He loves to cuddle and lay in your lap when you watch TV or read a book. He likes belly rubs and gives kisses also. He comes from a puppy mill where he was not taken very good care of, so he is missing a lot of teeth. He does however eat dry food mixed with a little water just fine. Since grass is also new to him, he loves to roll over and over on it and drag his belly through the grass. He does not like a crate, so I recommend when you go out; gating him off in a small kitchen or similar area. We are working on housebraking and leash training and it is going very well. He will beat you every time to an available chair to sit on it, once there he will sit behind you and is very content. Please give Dexter (Bubba) a chance at a new home and family.
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.
If shipping by volunteers through our organization or paid transporter, then there will be an additional $25 fee for the Health Certificate required. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.
If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above. We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.
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.
