BIO: Jasper has chronic dry eye in one of his eyes and will always need eye meds for it...well worth the extra money for this sweet sweet boy. It doesn't stop him from playing and take away from his sweetness!

Jasper was dumped at a shelter in Northern AL because he had skin issues and was being neglected.

What a shame since he is a sweet sweet boy and didn’t deserve the care, or lack of, that he got. But now his luck has changed we are treating his hair loss (flea allergy) and treating his eye infection and we expect him to make a full recovery from both.

Jasper loves attention and he gets along with both male and female dogs but we don’t know about cats.

He walks just fine on a leash and is happy and friendly to all that will pay attention to him.

This boy will make a great pet if you’ll just put a little weight on him and have patience while his fur grows back.  Once that all happens, he’s going to be one handsome boy and a head turner for sure! 

=============== Information for all dogs/adopters ==============

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $45 Fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into the state of CT, RI or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have an issue with this, you need to take this up with your legislatures.

We are now approved to adopt/foster in the state of NH but adopters will have to pay health certificate fee of $45.00 once to get the dog to our quarantine facility and another $50.00 fee to get the dog out of quarantine after two days.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please visit the Adoption Information.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and then you can complete an Application.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

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 or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well.  For now, please look for dogs on your coast.

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.
