BIO:

HI!  My name is Alice (Allie).  I am a very small dachshund, weighing only 8 lbs.  I look like a perpetual puppy!  My coat is a red dapple and my eyes are amber colored and each eye has a blue fleck, reinforcing the dapple.  I am very afraid of new people, but once I am comfortable with you I will give you lots of kisses and I will want you to hold me a lot.  I like to play with stuffed toys and I love taking the stuffing out of them.  I am not used to the cold up here in Vermont so I had to stay in the house for a whole week while the temperature was below 0°.  My foster Mom put down pee pads for me to use and she was happy to see that I knew what they were for.  I know I need to learn to go outside on a regular basis, but I have to wait for a little warmer weather.  I am currently living with 7 other dogs – three other rescued dachshunds (two boys and one other girl); two West Highland White Terrier girls; and guest dogs Finn (an Australian Shepard mix) and Tala (a Whippet).  I get along with them all.  I will bark when I hear a strange sound, but I quiet down when I hear my foster Mom’s voice reassuring me that all is okay.  Right now I am sleeping in a large pen with my foster sister, but I would absolutely love to sleep with you in your big bed and snuggle with you all night.  My foster Mom laughs at me frequently.  She tells me I am funny and cute.  I dance when she first comes home because I am so happy to see her and at night when she plays with me I tend to roll onto my back and paw at her hands and wiggle like crazy.  I like to run down the hall to chase after a toy and I like to play tug-of-war.  Won’t you please play with me and give me a forever home?  Because I am so petite, a home with no children or older children would be best.

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.
