BIO:

update on bio:

Lydia is a sweet little girl that really loves people. She loves to cuddle and wants to be near you at all times - as close as possible, even if it means sleeping with her head on your face! She loves giving and getting attention. Lydia is playful and happy, but is also very calm and content just hanging out beside you. 

Lydia is good with kids as long as they are respectful to her and approach her slowly. She is also fine with cats. She gets nervous around other dogs at first, but after a while she warms right up to them. She was afraid of her foster sisters for the first week or so, but now they are great friends! Lydia previously used potty pads but is now almost completely potty trained to go outside - she is a fast learner! 

Lydia was surrendered to our rescue after a lifestyle change with her family. Their work was requiring them to travel so the family decided it was best that she not be left at home alone so they opted to give her a chance at a better life. If you are interested in giving Lydia the forever home she deserves, please fill out an application!

Lydia came in very nervous and insecure. It has taken a bit but she is finally coming out of her shell. She is a sweet little girl that really loves all people. She is good with kids as long as they are respectful to her and approach her slowly. She walks great on a leash and loves the sunshine. Lydia is learning how to use a doggie door but is currently 100% potty pad trained. She is also fine with cats.

Lydia isn’t too sure about other dogs but we feel if she is introduced to your dog properly on neutral territory, she should get along with a brother or sister just fine.

If you are interested in giving Lydia the forever home she deserves them please fill out an application!

=============== 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.
