BIO:  Kali came to us as an owner surrender from a shelter in Maury County, Tennessee. A Good Samaritan took her for a few months and got her up to date on vaccines, and Kali was diagnosed with Cushing’s Syndrome. Kali is stable on her dose of Vetoryl and at goal weight, and she does not display symptoms of Cushing’s at this time. The Good Samaritan and her husband work overnight shifts, so they felt she deserved a home where she is not crated for long hours. 

She was instantly accepted by all members of the “pack” of three other female dachshunds at her foster home. This little girl is a beauty and so very sweet! She loves to be petted and will happily sit on your lap for hours. Some lucky family will fall in love with her immediately!

She loves her squeaky toys and found the toy box right away!  

Kali requires someone who is willing and able to take her for at least three 20 min walks a day.   This helps her to maintain her weight and she is a much happier dog.   

Kali eats very fast, and a slow feeder bowl is recommended to avoid aspirating kibble when she eats. 

Our must-haves for adorable Kali include:

• A fenced yard
• A family who is not away from her for long periods of time
• Someone who is willing and able to take her for at least three 20 min walks a day
• A family with lots of love as she is a very sweet and affectionate dog. She is very friendly and accepting of new people coming into the foster home.
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises

Kali learned the access to the backyard quickly. She will walk on a leash very well. She is housebroken, but it is best to take her out on a schedule. She sleeps in an open crate at night or in the Big Bed with her sisters. Kali rides well in the car.

If you think you are the one for this beautiful and sweet girl, please fill out an online adoption application. Once we talk to your vet for a reference, we’ll then be calling you to see if you would be a good fit for this adorable pup. 
 

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form.  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 $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered.

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 any 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.

Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form.

Adoptees should live in Florida or adjacent states.  We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get to her new home.

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.
