SKIPPER was adopted from a shelter in MO and dumped in a shelter in TN after they had him for a while saying that he was "mentally retarted". He is not anywhere near that at all. He is sweet, laid back and wonderful!! He gets along with everyone and doesn't know a stranger. He will need to brush up on his housebreaking as the people that had him didn't know how to housebreak a dachshund. He is UTD on all shots and neutered and on heartworm prevention. If you want a sweet boy that loves to cuddle and appreciate all the love you give him than this is the boy for you. Don't make him wait to find his forever home too long. 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, Good with Cats, 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.
