BIO:  

Sierra was on deaths door and we pulled her back from the door closing on her forever. She was unadoptable because she had several  skin issues all at the same time that we are now treating. Alopecia, Dermatitis and Hyperpigmentation.  After 5 weeks her skin looks 80% better and we will continue to see it improve with medication and good food.

She is ready to go on to her new home by the time your application is approved so please don’t wait to apply for this sweet sweet girl. She loves to be in your lap,  she’ll sleep with you and follow you around where ever you go. She has the cutest habit of sticking out just the tip of her tongue most of the time when she looks at you.
She gets along with all the foster brothers and sisters and would be great as an only dog or with another dog. She is not a barker so would be good in an apartment and would just need a schedule for potty breaks.

Just think in one more day she would not have been here.   

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.
