BIO:  Louie was surrendered to a shelter in North Carolina, along with his two brothers, Hewey and Dewey, and their mother, Daisy.  He is definitely part dachshund, but it is unknown as to what else he might be mixed with.  In addition to having the cutest face ever, he has a FANTASTIC personality!  He sleeps a lot, like all puppies do, but when he is awake he is full of energy and love!  If you loved to be kissed, and you want a puppy to call your own, then Louie just might be for you!  However, you must remember that puppies are a LOT of work, and they really do require someone at home around the clock (aside from errands) to train and take care of them.  If you have little or no experience with owning a puppy, I highly recommend a book called “The Puppy Primer” by Patricia B. McConnell, which you can get from Amazon.  “Dachshunds for Dummies” (on Amazon as well) is also an excellent source of information.  In addition, due to his age, if you are approved for adoption you must be willing to drive to his foster home in Columbia, Maryland to pick him up.  If this precious young man sounds like a good fit for your family, visit our website at www.allamericandachshundrescue.org to learn more, or contact the Foster Mom at maryanne70@gmail.com for more information.

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.
