BIO: Max came to us from a local animal hospital that was told to put him to sleep because he wasn’t feeling well. After running a simple blood test, the results showed that he had a thyroid issue and required medication. He is now on thyroid medication and is doing very, very well. He is a very happy boy again and thanks to the caring people at the animal hospital, Max gets another chance at life. While he stayed with the hospital they took such good care of him that they gave him all his shots, did routine blood work and physicals and even gave him a dental. He has pretty white teeth too!

On occasion, Max has had some back aches and so he is given Rimadyl (in a pill form) once a day to prevent flare ups or problems. He is a wonderful boy that has nothing but love to give. Max is a senior boy that would do best in a quiet home with someone looking for a companion. He does not need to be in a home with another dog and would probably do better as an only dog. He does however; get along fine with other dachshunds. Max likes to lounge around most of the day and enjoys laying in the sun in the yard. At night he prefers to sleep in either the big bed snuggled with you or in his dog bed. He is completely housetrained and very well behaved. He just needs someone to love him forever. He in turn will be a faithful and loyal companion. Please consider adopting Max and giving him a wonderful forever home…

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 $25 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.
