NIKKE came from a shelter in middle AL where she was picked up as a stray. Imagine our surprise when we found out she was a wire because we were told she was a longhair. NIKKI is very sweet and will talk to you when she wants you to pay attention to her but is very sweet other than that. She gets along with other dogs but if they start something she won't back down and she'll finish it. She does appear to be housebroken and love to sleep in either a doggie bed or your bed. If you need a "little" companion with a "big" heart then this is the girl for you. She is UTD on all shots and ready for her new home. Will that be yours?? Out of State and Canidian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arranements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

Good with Dogs
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.
