BIO: 

Poppy was dumped in a shelter in TX and we were asked if we’d take him; how can you say no to a face like that? Poppy likes to be in every room you are in or outside with you whatever you’re doing he’s here to help.  Poppy gets along with the other fosters in the home and crates without a hassle.

Poppy does loves his treats and he can afford to put on a little weight, he’s still on the thin side. He could stand to be about 12 lbs.

Poppy rides great in a car and walks great on a leash. He’d be one of those dogs that could either be with another dog or he could be your only side-kick.

He may not have the prettiest coat for a long hair but he more than makes up for with his personality.

Oh did we tell you that Poppy comes with a 6 mos supply of Heartgard? He’ll be ready for his new home on the 6^th of Sept so get you application in now, he’ll be a great companion and you won’t be sorry.

=============== 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 $50 Fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into the state of ME, 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 $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.
