WIGGLES came from a small shelter in middle TN where he was brought in as a stray and adopted out and returned because he marked in the house. He has since been fixed and will get past that. What we did find out was that he was heartworm positive and is now going thru treatment and won't be ready to go to his forever home until the middle of JULY. By that time he'll be over his marking issues and will have put a little weight on himself. He is very very sweet and we think he'd be fine with kids over 10 yrs. We do not know about cats but he gets along with all dogs here male and female. If you want a little mini-man then this is the one for you. Can't beat how sweet he is and he won't talk back! Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements 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.
