Bart 2...TN

Bart is doing great. He comes to work with me every day, and has made friends with everyone in the office. At first he barked at visitors to the building, but has gotten better and better about not doing that as he gets settled in. He also has quit barking nearly as much at neighbors and workers in my condo complex. Obviously, he is feeling much more secure and at-home. Bart arrived 99% house-broken. Someone put a lot of good attention into training Bart for him to end-up abandoned. I've learned it is hard to walk a hound on a leash, as Bart's nose dictates where he wants to go. But he is getting better about that. For the most part, he is a very well behaved little doggie. We have our first vet appointment this afternoon, just to get him established there. I am not much of a camera buff. I submitted pics when I registered his chip, for identification purposes, but don't have any that are good enough to submit to the site. I will say that I strongly recommend adopting from a rescue operation in general and All-American Dachshund Rescue in particular. It is a great way to get a high-quality pet, and to know what to expect with no unpleasant surprises, while giving a deserving pet a good home. I knew that I wanted to adopt instead of supporting a breeder at this point, but had no idea that it was possible to rescue a small pure-breed such as a Dachshund (in keeping with my complex's 20 lb weight limit) until a friend who is a foster home for AADR introduced me to your website. So I am very grateful. Thank you. Alan

Bonnie...NY

Bonnie is now called Rosy and she is doing great! She is a real sweetheart and a very good girl. She is the first doxie I've ever known who plays fetch and actually gives you the toy after retrieving it! Rosy and I have been going to 'Courteous Canines' classes and she is learning so much. What a little smarty pants she is! I just love this little girl and am so happy to have her in my family. Thank you AADR for rescuing Rosy and sending her my way. Michelle

Bailey 5...RI

This note from Bailey's foster mom with a picture from her new daddy: "I hope you are all having a good week. I wanted to share this picture with you! It is of Bailey, our foster girl, that was adopted last week. She is with her new sister, Reeses. Their dad, John, caught them sleeping on the same pillow last night! Have a great day! Mary"

Biscuit 2...FL

Biscuit has been a wonderful addition - I could never have imagined adopting such a wonderful sweet little boy. He has bonded with my little rescued yorkie (10 years old) and my 20+ year old Siamese cat in a very short time. He is loving and dear. He is 7 years old and is a perfect gentleman ;) I rescued Biscuit? Biscuit rescued me. He is in his furever home forever and ever. I love Biscuit. :) Lori

Boo...NY

Boo is doing fine since her foster mother, Joan, got her started on some good food and habits. She arrived house trained, so that is a big plus. She loves to go for walks, and when she gets back from one, she races around like mad, playing with us and the cats till she can’t go anymore. For an eight year old doxie, she sure has a lot of energy. Joyce
