Little CHEWY is a friendly, out-going little boy that is ready for a forever family that will give him an active lifestyle and loves to play. He’s happy, out-going and is quite generous with puppy kisses and loves being the center of attention. When you meet CHEWY, you are a stranger for mere minutes before you become his new best friend. He’s loving and eager to learn the rules that will please his family. He’s a little boy that will thrive with someone who is willing to devote time and attention to training him to ensure he becomes a well behaved gentleman. He is working on housetraining manners, but should do fine if kept on a schedule. Basically, CHEWY is a clean slate---he’s got no behavioral issues and is just a little boy that needs time and attention, rewards for good behavior, and lots of love! Of course, CHEWY is a very handsome boy, too. He’s solid black with silver dapples and has a very delicate build, weighing only about 7 pounds.

CHEWY was turned in with his brother, SNOOP. They would love to be adopted together, but it’s not necessary. He and SNOOP share a crate and he settles in nicely and quietly.  Because he’s so small, he needs to go to a home with older children that know how to handle a small doxie. He’s not been exposed to cats, but should have no problems adjusting to a home with cats.

Feel free to email his foster mom with questions or to ask for more pictures.

Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.

If shipping by volunteers through our organization or paid transporter, then there will be an additional $35 fee for the Health Certificate required. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  Please Read Before You Adopt to learn more about transportation options.  If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and Fill Out an Application.

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.
