BIO: 

Anita is one of the most joyful dogs you will ever meet.  The best way to describe this bundle of energy is that she is 100 percent PUPPY.  If you open your home and heart to this little baby you will get the joy of seeing her discover the world brand new.  Everything is an adventure to her and she is so willing to please.  One of the joys with Anita is watching her come running across the yard to you and then seeing her feet outrun her body.  She rolls and tumbles a few times and then is back to running at you to smother you with all the puppy kisses that you can stand (or that you will let her get away with).  This little girl is all about how she can be with you and experience the things that you think are fun and exciting. 

She does outstanding with all of her foster brothers and sisters, has shown no signs of any aggression towards any of them at all.  During the day it is funny to watch Anita lay next to our five year old little girl and watch Word Girl, Wild Cratz, or whatever else may be getting their attention during break time.  The minute our little girl is outside to run and play Anita is right there with the rest of the pack reminding the world that a doxie mix is in the area.  She is great with our daughter and the only aggressive part of her is the intensity of her kisses that she gives.

Feeding time is when she shows that she is a puppy and a doxie mix.  She approaches meal time with a joy and enthusiasm that is amazing and funny to watch at the same time.  We do feed her in her own area and bowl just to avoid any misunderstandings about whose feed is whose.  Again, she is a puppy and she still is learning about the proper manners to have around the senior puppers and older doggies.

This little girl has a lot of energy and would do great with a buddy to run, romp, and play with.  Once its time to bed down for the night she goes right into her room with her blankets and burrows down for the night with no problems.  We are still working on her barking at random times at night when she gets lonely, but this is a typical puppy trait and will pass with positive training.  She is more than willing to jump in the big people bed and sleep with you if you give her half a chance.  Many times, when our little girl has gone off for nap time, we can find Anita laying either next to or across her legs snoring away.

She has been through a lot in her short little life and she deserves a home and family that have the love, patience and willingness to make her a part of their home and family.  The only thing that she wants to do in return is love you back and be your best friend.  If you are the lucky family or person that gets Anita, you will never have to worry about not having someone happy and overjoyed to see you return after any time away.  Please consider this sweet baby and in return you will get a buddy that will love you more than you could ever hope for

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.
