BIO:
Barney is an owner surrender due to unexpected life changes. He is a little shy at first but the sweetest of dachshunds. He will come around shortly after food, cookies, or a squeaky toy. He loves chasing tennis balls with squeakers in them. He loves to come inside and follow you around or lay at your feet so you can rub his belly. He loves to be bathed and brushed . He is housebroken and crate trained. Loves to go for walks……His short legs prevent him from jumping on any furniture and he will not beg for food while you’re eating. He is a big “Love Bug”.

Good with Dogs, 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.
