BIO:

Fred is a sweet and playful boy who loves to be with his brother.  Fred and his brother George were surrendered to the Maury County Animal Services Facility on 8/11/11.  Fred is trained to use the potty mat (when provided) and also uses the dog door to go outside.  Fred and/or George are young enough to be socialized around cats.  They need a home filled with love and a commitment to training so they can be the adored companions they yearn to be.

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.
