Sonny loves to cuddle when he's not playing. He gets along with everyone, from his human foster teenage brother to his foster mom's friend's small children to the cats and other doxie in his foster home. He thinks everyone should be his friend! He is very happy sleeping in his crate but is more than willing to sleep in the big bed too. Sonny is very good to go outside on his leash to go potty. He's been on a few short walks so far (its been too cold to do any more) with his foster mom and has enjoyed them. Sonny's favorite game is playing fetch and figured out quickly that his toy gets thrown again and again when he plants it back in, or close to, foster-mom's hand.
If you're looking for the perfect package of sweetness, good cuddler and best friend, then Sonny is your man!

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Is Not 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.
