BIO:  Hazelnut came from a shelter in East Tennessee when the owner went into a nursing home and had no one to care for the animals. When she first came to us, she was in poor shape, and we felt she was over 11, but once we got all her health issues fixed, it was clear that she was possibly much younger.

Hazelnut will use puppy pads but likes to go outside to potty as well. She has one friend here that she likes to play with. She likes cuddling with the other fosters.

Our must-haves for precious Hazelnut include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot to dote on her
• Other small, older dogs in the home for her to buddy up with

If you meet these requirements, please fill out an application to adopt 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.
