BIO:  Ernie came from Columbus, Ohio, when his owner passed away, and none of the family could take him. He was very confused when he first came in, but that didn’t hold him back for long before he became energized, and he now likes running around with the other dogs. He gets along with all the dogs at his foster home, males and females. We were told he is even good with big dogs, and they sent a picture of him with two big dogs. He loves to go for walks... you bring out his harness and he gets all excited, running around and barking.

Our must-haves for adorable Ernie are:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home more than not
• Another dog or two for him to buddy up with

If you think you can give Ernie his last forever home, please apply. He won’t be available long... he’s as close to perfect as you can get for a rescue 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.
