BIO:  Amara was turned into a shelter in northern Alabama by her owners without a reason given for surrendering her. She was terrified at the shelter and would not let anyone touch her, so we were called to see if we’d take her. We brought her to our facility and within days of being with us and getting used to us she was begging for attention. She is fearful of strangers and needs time to warm up to new people. Do you have that patience? She’ll be worth it!

Our must-haves for sweet Amara include:

• A fenced yard
• A quieter home with few visitors
• Another dog to keep her company if you have to be gone
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises

If you can meet these requirements, you’ll have a loyal companion who loves attention and will love you! 

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