BIO:  Joy is a very sweet girl! She came in as an owner surrender after her owner passed away, and the family was unable to care for her properly. She was very underweight, but since coming into rescue, she has gained weight and now is over 11 pounds and getting her energy back. Joy plays well with my 3 dachshunds and loves to be petted. She has some hearing deficit but does respond when my dogs are barking. She requires softened kibble as she had most of her teeth removed after coming into rescue. She loves green beans as a treat and will happily eat them right from the can or cooked fresh ones! Joy had some hair loss on her ears due to malnutrition, but that is growing back nicely with melatonin and a healthy diet.    

This little girl is absolutely the sweetest dog ever and will make a wonderful pet! Joy is housebroken but needs someone who is home a lot to take her out regularly. She loves to be petted and sit in your lap or next to you on the couch or recliner. She gets along well with other dogs and needs a fenced yard as she loves to run and explore.

Joy has not had the love she needs and really needs someone who will give her the love and attention she deserves. 

Our must-haves for precious little Joy include:

• A fenced yard
• Another senior dog to keep her company if you must leave her  
• Someone who is home more often than not
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos due to her love of being outside in a fenced yard

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