BIO:  Ralphie came from a high rural kill shelter in KY. We don’t know why or what made his person give him up but we are sure glad they did now we can help him find the forever home he so deserves.

Ralphie is a sweet sweet boy that is low key, loves the outdoors and gets along with all the fosters here both male and female.

He is housetrained to the doggie door  and would probably do well without one. He does go to the door to want out when the doggie door is closed. He loves to ride in the car and could be your traveling buddy.

We are not sure how he’d do with cats and small children might make him too nervous but older ones 10 and up should be ok.

Ralphie has got the most gorgeous fur of any dogs I’ve seen he has a beautiful coat that can be kept looking beautiful with just a couple brushing a week. He is a true red head with a black overlay, just beautiful.

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. If they choose transporting by volunteers through our organization or paid transporter, there will be an additional $35 Fee for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into the state of CT, RI or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have an issue with this you need to take this up with your legislatures.

We are now approved to adopt/foster in the state of NH but adopters will have to pay health certificate fee of 35.00 once to get the dog to our quarantine facility and another 35.00 fee to get the dog out of quarantine after two days.

To understand the adoption process through AADR please visit the Adoption Information.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

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 or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well for now please look for dogs on your coast.

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.
