Zoey came from a shelter in AR where she was to be euthanized. We could not let that happen. She made her way down here to TN where she has been completely vetted and is now waiting for her forever home. She is fine with strangers and kids as long as they are gentle with her. We will not adopt her to a family with children under the age of 5 because toddlers could fall on her and hurt her. She loves to be a lap dog and is not really much into playing with the other dogs but does get along with them all. She really just wants a human that she can follow around or cuddle with. She’s not much of a barker but would let you know if someone came to the door. She’s also like it if you’d share your bed with her. When we leave we crate her and she’s fine with that if you give her a treat to keep her busy. Please consider giving this sweet girl a forever home where she’ll be loved and not abandoned ever again.

Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids
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.
