BIO:  My what big eyes you have Scruffy!!! This boy was a breeder retiree but friendlier than most breeder dogs. He loves attention and he gets along with other small dogs. We’ll have to say “no” to bigger dogs.

Even though he is mostly friendly we think he’d do better with another small well socialized dog so he can continue to learn from. An added plus for him would be if you had a doggie door and were home mostly.

• fenced in yard a must
• another adult small dog for him to pal around with
• someone home more than not
• no apartments, high rises or condos

If you are interested in him best put your application in right away as wires do not last long. So don’t lose out by thinking about it.

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