BEING FOSTERED IN MIDDLE TN.......


My foster family says I’m a real sweetheart! I came from a shelter after my previous owner had to go into a nursing home. I am having great fun at my foster home in Middle Tennessee but want a new forever home so I can be your cuddly companion. I was born on April 1st, but I’m no fool! I have learned very quickly how to behave in this busy household not only with my sister, Lily, but another dog (9 yr old yellow lab) and 4 kids ages 6-18. It’s fine when the 6 year old likes to pick me up too. I have a very agreeable disposition. I like to hang out with my foster mom doing whatever she is doing and am excited when it’s time to eat, but I never whine or beg for food. I am still a bit chubby but have lost weight on my new lean diet food and have gotten more active running and playing outside. I couldn’t go up the basement steps at first but now I can zoom up and down those steps and the deck steps with no problem. I can easily jump up on the couch to cuddle now too. If you’d like me to sleep in bed with you, I’ll happily oblige, but I also behave well sleeping on my own bed without a peep all night. I will help let you know if someone is coming by barking, but when you tell me to stop I’m a good girl and settle down quickly. I also am calm when you need to give me a bath. I’ll be your loyal buddy and cuddle whenever you want, so please take me home with you!

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.
