BIO: Penny is a beautiful dapple smooth coat dachshund who came into rescue from a breeder in Georgia. She knows her name and will promptly come when called. She is absolutely the sweetest dog ever and will make a wonderful pet! Penny loves to be around people and does well with children over 11. Penny loves to be petted and sitting in your lap or next to you on the couch or recliner. She is very housebroken and walks well on a leash. She gets along well with other dogs (I have 3, and she did well with all of them right from the time she arrived). She needs a fenced yard as she loves to run and explore. She loves green beans as a treat and will happily eat them right from the can or cooked fresh ones. Penny is such a very social and happy dog! She really needs someone who will give her the love and attention she deserves.
Our must-haves for sweet Penny 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)

============== 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 above. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $55 fee added for the required Health Certificate.
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 an 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 that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and MidWest. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
