BIO: Ashley was left with 4 other Dachshunds in a drop box at a TN shelter. This sweet girl will be your little shadow. She loves to follow you all over the house and even go for car rides. Ashley is a BIG cuddlier and loves to burrow under the blankets. She loves sleeping in the big bed with her people and does best when she has a real structured life so she know what you expect of her. She is ok with cats, but can get a little too focused on them at times if you are not watching her. If you have a kitty that will take up for itself then you will have no issues, but if you have a kitty that is submissive I would not recommend Ashley for you.

She needs to be in a home that has a least another social dog for companionship and someone who is home most of the time….she would do great with a retired couple that has another dog. Someone Doxie savvy would be a plus also. She is being fostered in a multi dog home at this time with someone home full time and is kept on a good schedule…ie: feedings, walks, bedtime and such at the same time every day… She has some anxiety issues that can be managed very well with this life style. A fenced yard would be best …she likes to dart past you at the door. We have this under control also.. but I’m sure in a new home she might want to try her old tricks again till she knows the rules …. She also has a deformed back leg that she hold up when she walks that makes her look like a 3 legged dog....I think it is the cutest thing in the world....but because of this she can't do steps and would have to be carried up them if it’s more then 2 or 3….also because of this short walks are best for her. But in no other way does this affect her and she is a normal dog.  She is potty trained as long as she is taken out on a regular schedule. She will have an accident if you do not take her out when she needs to go. One issue Ashley doesn’t have is how much she can love....she is the biggest mush and just wants to be part of the family.  The Foster home would like to adopt within driving distance so you can meet her first....and we can help her and her new family transition.  She may take some time and patients but will be well worth it and become a very loyal, loving family member.  If you’re that person really looking to give a Dachshunds who has just not had the best start in life, have a happy ever after please consider Ashley.  

If you think Ashley would be a perfect fit for you please fill out an adoption application & her foster home will be in touch.

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.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
