Zoe (the runt) is a black and tan dachshund mix.  She may be small but she's mighty.  When she was younger, the other puppies would always make room for her to nurse.  They respected her regardless of her size.  She is now a force to be reckoned with.  She loves to play and can tug and run with the rest of them.  She was the first to use the mat consistently.  Although she's small, she's the first to the food bowl.  It's nice to know which dogs will be motivated by food.

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.
