BIO: 

Peppy is a courtesy listing and not associated with All American Dachshund Rescue.  Please contact Samantha at the e-mail listed above for further details on Peppy and how to adopt him.

Peppy needs time to warm up to his new family but once he does know that you are going to be kind to him he will follow you around like your little shadow. He loves to sit in your lap and loves to cuddle under a blanket. He loves to go outside and potty with you or with you standing in the door watching him. He gets along  with other dogs and we are told he is also good with cats.

We do not think that he would be good with young kids because they would make him too nervous. He would be better with empty nesters or someone that has grown children. If you are interested in adopting Peppy please contact his foster mom. He will come with his crate, it’s not in the best of shape but is needed to transport him to his forever home.

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.
