BIO:  Bagel came from North Alabama when the owner could no longer care for him. He came in with 3 other long-haired doxies. Please understand he and the others were not socialized at all, so he’s afraid of people initially, especially men. However, given time, patience, and lots of love, Bagel should be good with men. It will take him the good part of a week to feel comfortable in any home. He would do best with another well-socialized young small dog.

Our must-haves for adorable Bagel include: 

• A fenced yard
• A family who is home a lot or works from home
• A family with lots of patience, and who knows it is going to be a process for Bagel to learn trust and come around, and who will keep in mind that he will never be fond of strangers
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises

We have to be very picky where he goes as it’s going to take Bagel time to warm up. We don’t want him to have to return to rescue. Someone with experience having an unsocialized dog would be very helpful.

Bagel learned the doggie door quickly at one foster home that had one available to him. The foster home he’s in now does not have one, so we have found it best to take him out on a schedule. He sleeps in an x-pen at night.

If you think you are the one for this little guy, then please fill out an online adoption application. Once we talk to your vet for a reference, we’ll then call you to see if you are up to the challenge.

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

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.

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. 

We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states.  If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.
