BIO:  Sunflower came from a shelter in East Tennessee when the owner went into a nursing home, and there was no one to care for the animals. When she first came to the rescue she was in poor shape. She had skin issues from fleas and ticks and a urinary tract infection, and she lost all but 5 teeth during her dental. Her food will need to be softened before eating. But that is all behind this beautiful little Sunflower and she is now ready for her furever home.

She is a very friendly, happy, and sweet little girl. She loves to run in the fenced-in yard chasing squirrels, birds, and any other wildlife. She loves to bark at all noises, real or imagined. Sunflower gets along great with her 3 foster sisters and loves running around with them outside. She loves playing with toys and especially dumping all of them out of the toy box and putting them in a doggie bed. Sunflower is not big on snuggling, but in time, this may change. She loves her doggie bed and her blanket and growls if she is disturbed when sleeping. She is crated at night but would love to sleep in the Big Bed.

Our must-haves for beautiful Sunflower include:

• A fenced yard
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises
• She can be an only dog or with another small dog

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