Delilah came from a high kill shelter in MO. She is blind but that doesn't stop her from being just as sweet as she can be. She loves to sleep in the big bed and will stay there as long as you do. She was sadly adopted out then returned when we were told Delilah and her blind dog didn't get along. We've had no problems here with Delilah but we do know that if the other dogs starts it Delilah will finish it. With that being said we will not adopt her out to another family with another blind dog unless they know how to deal with two blind dogs. Delilah loves to be outside in the fresh air but she enjoys being with her people more and oh what about a squeaky toy she LOVES those. Please consider giving Delilah her last forever home, we don't want her returned again so we'll be very careful whom we adopt to the next time to make sure they understand the challenges with a blind dog. If you have any more questions please e mail her foster mom.

Good with Dogs, Not 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.
