BIO:  Maggie is heartworm positive and is now going through treatment and will not be available for adoption until July 15^th.   

This little girl is she is very, very sweet.   She originally came from Michigan and then down to Alabama when the elderly aunt died and no one in the family wanted her.  The people that contacted us knew we would find her a great home.  They did not know that she was heartworm positive.  We will get her treated and once that is complete, we will find her that perfect forever home. Could that be you?

Maggie is a little shy at first but warms up with attention and a treat.  She would be better with another adult small dog in the home. Big dogs tend to frighten her.  Children would be ok if they were 10 or older and on the quieter side.  If you think you would be interested in Miss Maggie and are willing to wait until the middle of July, then she will be waiting for you.

Our must haves for Maggie are:

• A fenced in yard
• Another adult small dog for her to pal with
• Someone that can be home more than not
• No apartments, high rises or condos

She will be waiting for you to say YES.

 ============= 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.
