FESTUS is a retired breeder dog. He probably will bond better with females than males. He's not afraid of men - it's just that the lady of the house took care of the dogs so he's used to females more than males. He is a little on the shy side due to not being well socialized but has NEVER been mistreated so he just needs to meet more people and he'll be fine. We are not sure how housebroken he is but someone with a fenced in yard and a doggie door would be wonderful. He does fine with female dogs but we think once he's neutered he'll be fine with males too as he is not an aggressive dog at all. He does not like cats and will bark and chase them. WE think he would do best in a moderate to quiet home and he will be coming fully vetted and heartworm free. If you are interested in this pretty boy please put in an application soon.

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.

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.
