BIO:  Fern came from Alabama when the owner was getting evicted from their home and they had to find a place for their dogs to go. We agreed to take 4 of them. Fern was one. She is very scared of new people and will take time and patience to warm up and trust you BUT once she does, she is a total sweetheart. This is what rescue is all about, if you want to rescue a dog that needs love and patience then you have found her.

Once she gets comfortable in your home she is very playful that is the reason she needs another young small dog to play with.

These are her requirements for adoption:

• A fenced in yard
• Another young small well-socialized dog to play with and hang with
• Someone that will have the patience to make her comfortable in your home and help her to overcome her fear of the unknown
• Someone that can be home a lot or more than 9-10 hours a day
• no apartments, high rises or condos

If you fill these requirements then please consider adopting her, of course you have to go thru our approval process.

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