PENELOPE was adopted out by another independent rescuer and then returned when they lost there home and had to move to an apt. PENELOPE is used to being with old people and being a lap dog. She doesn't know well how to play with other dogs but we are going to help her learn that. She is very sweet loves to give "sugar" and will be in your lap 24/7 if she can. She is UTD on all shots, heartworm checked negative and on Interceptor and Frontline. She is housebroken and will go to the dog and whine to go out. Loves to sleep in the big bed. We think that kids over 12 would be best and to have another young dog to hang with and play with. Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

Good with Dogs, 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.
