BIO:  Tatum does not have a happy story to tell you about how she came to the rescue. A shelter in East Tennessee contacted us about a Dachshund who had been thrown out like trash from a car window. They asked if we would take her... no hesitation, YES! When we got her, she was terrified, but now she runs around with her tail up and wagging. She just needed to know she could trust us; wouldn’t you be that way if you were thrown from a car?

At her age, it looks like she has had puppies each time she went into season, but no more. Now she wants to be a loving pet.

Let us start her new year by giving her the home she so richly deserves and helping her forget the hell she went through before she came to our rescue.

She will need some good food to help her gain a couple of pounds. Now that she is getting a good helping of healthy food, her hip bones no longer protrude.

Our must-haves for beautiful Tatum include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone with patience to help her trust
• Another young small dog to pal around with
• Someone who can be home more often than not
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos due to the possibility of barking

If you meet these requirements and want to give Tatum her last loving home, please apply. She is waiting for her happily ever after. 

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