BIO:

Was adopted out but returned to us overweight.  After much hard work, Mary Kate is now back to a healthy weight. 

Mary Kate was dropped off at a shelter in the south because she had back issues.  Fortunately a caring soul saw her there and contacted rescue.  AADR took her in and paid for her back surgery.  That was two years ago.  Today Mary Kate is a thriving energetic little girl who is struggling to conquer her next feat in life – to find her forever family.  Mary Kate is a sweet loving girl who loves to snuggle and be by your side 24/7.  Although she has some limitations due to her orthopedic constraints, she does everything all the other foster dogs can do.  She should not be allowed to climb on or off furniture or do stairs.  She can do short leash walks – but everything in moderation.  She bounces around when she gets excited and plays, but you can tell that she has limited mobility in her back.  She gets along with all the foster dogs (large and small).  She can be a bit possessive of toys and food especially if challenged by another strongly opinionated dog. She does not appear to be too interested in the cats.  I think that she would do well with older children who are knowledgeable about her sensitive back and don’t try to pick her up without proper support. 

If you think that Mary Kate would be a perfect addition to your family, please take the next step and complete an application.  And if you would like to know more about Mary Kate or have specific questions, please contact me via email.  Thank you for your interest in this adorable little girl!

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 $35 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 35.00 once to get the dog to our quarantine facility and another 35.00 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.
