PRECIOUS and her sister BABBS were in a garage sale for sale in TN. The owner was moving and didn't want to take the dogs. Lucky for them a very Good Samaritan came along and offered a price and bought them. Also lucky for them she is a foster home for the shelter in the area and knew that they could go into rescue where they would be safe and find GOOD FOREVER HOMES!! And so, now they are here. We've not had them long enough but will update their bio as we know more. We can say that they will be spayed, UTD on all shots and heartworm checked and negative and on Frontline and Interceptor before they will go on to their next home. They wanted them to try to go together but we've had them here and they are not bonded at all so we think they can go to separate homes with no trouble. PRECIOUS is the more shy of the two but still sociable - very scared as I'm sure they can't figure out what they did wrong to be given up and in a strange place. Too bad they don't understand they got lucky when they were brought into rescue. It's too early to tell much about PRECIOUS right now but will update as we know more and they settle in.

Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids
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.
