Baron is a loving little puppy mill dog who is very fearful and did not understand human contact and that it was okay. He is very skittish and will retreat to his crate if he thinks he is going to be harmed. He was adopted by a very loving family in January and they say he has made great strides and will come when it is time to eat, will come when it is time to go outside to do his business and when he gets brave will jump up on the couch and cuddle next to you. But he needs someone who will put in a lot of time with him and be patient. His forever family is very busy and active and do not feel he is getting what he needs and has made the very hard decision to find him a better forever home that will have the time and patience that he deserves. If you are not familiar with Puppy Mill dogs these dogs spend most of their life in cages with very little to no human contact and sometime the human contact is not a positive or good experience for them so when they are bought into a home they have no idea what is happening or how to behave like a dog. They are scared to death and do the only thing they know and that is to run and hide and if cornered bite. Baron has had some exposure with a trainer to help with his fear and she says it is going to take time and him learning to trust humans. He is good with other animals but would need someone who has the time to put into bonding with him. Please if you are that person please offer Baron the forever home he much deserves.

Good with Dogs
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.
