Barkely is being fostered in VA.

Barkley is the cutest little wire hair black and tan boy. He is approximately 4 years old. He recently had his dental and is now ready for his forever home. Barkley came to us from a shelter in West Virginia as a stray. He is exhibiting some marking behaviors, which hopefully will improve now that he has been neutered. He is a very happy boy, and despite his name, he is not a barker. He hasn’t barked yet in his foster home. He gets along well with other dogs and loves to investigate. He is timid at first but warms up nicely. He can be very quick and doesn’t like to be caught so he needs a fully fenced yard. He has not been exposed to children or cats since he came into rescue. This little boy is sure to make someone a perfect companion. Barkley is neutered, UTD, HW negative, on prevention.
If you would like more information about Barkley please contact his foster mom at milly5dogs@yahoo.com. If you have never adopted through Southern States Dachshund Rescue before please Read Before You Adopt. If you are interested in adopting Barkley please fill out our online adoption 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.
