Hello I am Lothar of the Hill People, or that is what my foster mom calls me. Lothar is a character from a skit on Saturday Night Live and my mom says I remind her of him because of my climbing ability. I LOVE to climb on anything and everything I can. I climb my mom, the bed, my siblings, my foster mom and dad, and all of the other dogs in my house when my mom introduces them to me.
My foster mom says that I was lucky that I came into rescue. My mom was really sick and didn't have enough food to eat. We were from a back yard breeder who didn't really care about us. My mom was so full of parasites that she passed those parasites on to all of us. I am the biggest in the litter and because of that I got a lot of the milk which contained a lot of those parasites. I ended up very sick and had to spend two days in the hospital being treated and rehydrated with IV's. OUCH!. I am better now but my new family must remember that I will need to be brought to the vet and given my dewormings on schedule so that I don't get sick again. It didn't feel good to get sick in the first place and I definitely don't want to go through that again.
If you take me home you need to understand that I am just a puppy and I am still learning what to chew and what not to chew. I haven't become a well adjusted adult so I will need a lot of positive reinforcement to get there. I am not housebroken but I do try to use the puppy pads when I can. I miss alot or my messes are in the general "vicinity "of the pads but not on them. I also need to tell you that I am an early riser and when I wake up I am ready to eat!
If I sound like the guy for you, then please fill out an application to adopt me. I would love to come home with you!

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.
