BIO: I LOVE LUCY!

Lucy is a surrender from a small breeder. She arrived into the care of loving AADR volunteers scared, confused, and covered with fleas. When she arrived at her temporary foster home her first stop was the tub for a warm bath. She was a real trooper and let this strange lady soap her up and dry her down. She quickly relaxed after her bath and a big bowl of kibble.

Lucy has the nicest personality. She is not at all demanding. She is content to snuggle beneath the covers or in a warm lap. She gets along with everyone in the home and hasn’t been interested at all in the cat. She prefers the house over the yard and seems to chill easily (especially in the rain). She’s coming along with her housetraining. I can’t identify a single annoying behavior. She is eager to please and simply wants human companionship. I have not observed her with children, but has not displayed any aggression and should be fine if supervised.

Lucy is a special, beautiful girl. Her coat is rich mahogany sprinkled with black. Please consider making this beauty part of your pack.

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.  Please Read Before You Adopt to learn more about transportation options.  If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and Fill Out an Application.

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.
