BIO:  She just needs love!

Gidget came to AADR from Arkansas due to her owner passing away. She is the sweetest little angel. It took her about 4 days to get comfortable with her foster mom, but she now loves laying in her lap and even giving a few kisses. She is super laid back and loves being a lap dog. She is a bit shy when meeting new people, but she warms up pretty fast. Gidget doesn't really interact much with her foster dachshund brothers and sister but will run outside when they go out and is playful at times. She is not fond of bigger dogs. We have an outdoor cat that Gidget doesn't seem to be bothered by.  

Ideally, Gidget would be best in a home with a dog door. She is a pro at it and has not had one potty accident since day one in her foster home.

Gidget does enjoy sleeping in the Big Bed with her humans. She gives you a little goodnight kiss, then off to dreamland she goes. Gidget also does well riding in the car.

Our must-haves for Miss Gidget include:

• A fenced yard
• A doggie door would be a plus
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises
• Great as an only dog, or a few other small dogs, or one cat

If you meet all these requirements, please fill out our online adoption application. Remember, she must fit into your lifestyle because we want what is best for her.

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

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.

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.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend.  We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest.  We just can't get them from one coast to the other.  Please look for dogs on your coast.
