BIO:  Alma came to us from a severe case of neglect and mental illness on the part of her previous owner. Alma had been living in a pile of trash, making tunnels in it, and eating anything she could find. It is a very sad story, but it has a happy ending... that starts with you completing an application to adopt her. She would do better with another dog because she came in with another small dog; she also lived with 5 big dogs. She is such a sweet girl and really deserves a great home! She is low-key but does enjoy the sunshine and would spend hours outside in the sun.

Our must-haves for sweet Alma include:

• A fenced yard
• Another dog or two to keep her company if you have to be gone
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos (no shared walls)

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask the foster mom. Please give Alma the home she deserves!

 ============== 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.

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.
