MEET Mickie

Mickie came in with his sister Minnie3 from a shelter in NW AL where he was surrendered because the home had too many dogs. We don’t know for sure but we think the dad was a PB dachshund and mom was a Chihuahua so Mickie is a Chiweenie. Mickie is still very shy but has come a LONG way since first arriving in his foster home. The first few days Mickie would only hide in a corner. Now he is coming out and exploring his surroundings. He is learning to use a doggie door but still has accidents if you don’t watch for his signs. Mickie LOVES his foster sister and will follow her where ever she goes. He is very dependant on a fur companion so we think he would be best in a home with another doggie. The foster home he is currently in does have small children. He does not have an aggressive bone in his little body, but is still nervous of their fast movements. Because of this we think it would be best if he is in a home with no small children.

Mickie is becoming such a character! His favorite thing to do is steal things!! If an item is on the floor, it is fair game. He doesn’t chew, but will steal your stuff and take it to his doggie bed and bury it. It is the cutest thing! His new family will have to understand this is his own little game and he should never be punished for this. We have just learned that we should pick everything up unless we want to go looking for it in Mickie’s bed.

Mickie is not trained to a leash at all and a fenced in yard will be a requirement of his forever home. He is going to need a doxie savvy home that has lots of patience and can give him time to come out of his shell and be the best doggie we know he can be.

If you feel you can give Mickie the home he so deserves please fill out an adoption application.

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.

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.
