UPDATE - November, 2009: Sampson is an eager to please little guy. He loves to follow you around the house and enjoys curling up and sleeping in bed or on the sofa. Sampson is shy at first but warms up quickly and shows it by sharing his kisses. He wants to be involved with everything you do, including home improvements. He travels fine in a car if he is crated in a large crate that he can see out of. Sampson is not a barker unless he is locked away in a room and can't be with you. He would make an excellent companion for just about any home. He doesn't mind cats and enjoys the company of other dogs as well. Sampson acts just like a puppy and at first glance you wouldn't think otherwise. He is a beautiful little boy with a big heart to share. Please consider giving Sampson the forever home he deserves.


SAMPSON Z-9 came in with 18 other dogs from a puppymill bust in AL. Not all were dachshund but enough were. SAMPSON Z-9 came in sick and with missing teeth from poor care and diet. We have have him on the road to recovery and he's anxious to go to his new home. He is such a sweet boy and so happy to be alive and out of that horrible place. He now has a doggie bed to sleep in or the big bed if he chooses. One this is they can't get enough love. He is working on his housertraining and doing very well. We think he'd be fine with small children that know how to treat animals but not sure about cats. He would need another dog to keep him company and a fenced in yard is a must. Please consider completing SAMPSON Z-9's life by giving him a wonderful forever home.


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, 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.
