BIO:  Bear came to AADR from northern Georgia when he was surrendered by his owner. She was moving and had 5 dogs that she needed to rehome. He has only been in his foster home for a few days, and as with many foster dogs, Bear has been very standoffish and timid. He is slowly coming out of his shell, and his foster dad can already see that he is an extremely sweet dog. Bear has gotten along quite well with the three canine residents, two females and a male. Cats are an unknown. He has shown no signs of aggression and is extremely well-behaved. He likes to burrow in his kennel with towels and blankets and has only had one accident in the house, which was on the first day he arrived.

Bear is just a tad bit on the chunky side and could stand to lose a pound or two. Overall, though, his health appears to be excellent. Having said that, it is recommended that if there are children in the house or visiting, they all need to be old enough to go easy and be gentle with him. So, no toddlers. Bear does need a companion pup because he gets very lonely if he's by himself.

If you are looking for an easy-going, sweet-natured dog, then look no further. Bear will fill the bill and then some!

Our must-haves for precious Mr. Bear include:

• Someone who will help him maintain a healthy weight
• Someone who is home a lot
• No apartments, high-rises, or any dwelling with shared walls
• A fenced yard
• Another pup to be his friend and keep him company

============== 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.
