BIO:  

Scooter is an approximate 7-8 year old male dachshund that was an owner surrender to an animal shelter.  No reason was given. 

Scooter is a perfect little male dachshund that is just as sweet and well-behaved as he can be.  He gets along with small or large dogs male and female.  We have not experienced him around cats, but he probably would be good with them because he is laid back and calm… but will chase and bark at squirrels in the yard, of course!!  He is not food or play aggressive.  He is housetrained and learned to use our doggy door very quickly.  He enjoys playing with his doxie pals and hanging out with his whole family in the backyard or watching TV and just chillin!  He is the cutest little doxie lovebug! 

He will lay quietly by himself or with his doxie buddies, but also would love to lay on your lap.  He doesn’t mind sharing his people.  He will sleep in a kennel or the people bed if allowed.  He likes to stand on his back legs watching you prepare his meals.  Boy does he like food! 

Loves to be by his foster mom's side everywhere.  Such a sweet buddy!

Scooter is so well liked by all who have come in contact with him since coming to AADR. Please contact his foster Mom, Deanna, and she will give you much greater detail and pictures. 

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.
