UPDATE AS OF 07/26/09:

Cleo is a love bug.  She has become foster daddy’s little girlfriend.  She wants to be glued to him and in his lap 24/7.  Love bug and snuggle doesn’t even come close to describing her.  She is insanely sweet, gets along with our entire family.  She will sometimes enjoy a game of romp and pounce with her foster sister and brothers but really prefers to be in a lap and watching.  She really deserves someone who will love her like no other and have a whole lot of time to just sit with her and show her how loved she is.  She has a beautiful face and personality.   As with the other 4 fosters she arrived with, we have Cleo on a strict schedule to try to make housebreaking a breeze.  She sleeps in a crate but really, really would rather not.  We hope in time when potty training is complete we can have her sleeping in a more comfy spot that pleases her.

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.
