BIO:  Asher is one of the sweetest dachshunds I have ever met.  He was surrendered by a family that was going to have a new baby and they decided they no longer had time for him.  I am not sure of his full history, but he is very timid.  I think deep inside he just wants to feel secure and to be loved.  He has already responded to us in just the first week that he has been with us.  He gets along well with my 2 dogs (a dachshund and a miniature pinscher).  They have been helping him with feeling more confident.  He LOVES to play fetch.  He has the best little personality and would be a wonderful addition to a family.  He would love having a fenced in yard!  He is learning to walk well on a leash and he is doing awesome with housebreaking.  His favorite place to be is sitting next to you with his head on your lap.  He loves sleeping under blankets too!  He is so kind and gentle.  He also is not much of a barker, which is rare for dachshunds!  I just can’t say enough of HOW SWEET HE IS!!!    

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.
