BIO:  Max is a very happy, very friendly guy who just loves being around people!  He gets along with his Dachshund foster brothers and sisters and is also good around kids as long as they go slowly with him at first.  Max is currently working on taking off a few pounds, which we are sure he will do because he loves going for walks and does well on a leash.  He came into rescue after his owner passed away and was obviously well-loved because he wants to be around you as much as possible.  He’s housebroken and enjoys running around the backyard with his foster brother.  He would make a great addition to a family who can give him the love and attention he deserves!  

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.
