BIO: Hi, my name is Auggie Doggie and my foster mom says I am the sweetest little boy ever! She also tells me I am the prettiest dachshund she has ever seen. I try to tell her I am a little boy and boys are handsome but she still calls me pretty, go figure. Right now all I want is a home of my own that I can stay in for the rest of my life. It would be nice to have maybe one little doggie brother or sister to play with and a back yard to run in.
My foster mom and dad said my name should be Shadow because I follow them all over the house. I like to sit on the couch with them, and I have to be tight up against them. I sleep in the big bed because I like to keep my humans close to me.
I have 3 foster sisters and 1 foster brother. My Yorkie foster sister thinks she's my mommy and follows me everywhere I go. I'm really not interested in them now, I just want my human foster parents close to me. I used to growl at the other pups if they tried to get close to my humans but now I realize we can all share so I am fine. I don't like the other pups near my food either but we all eat in different corners of the room and I am fine. I think I just need some time to warm up to the other pups, but I really want a mommy and daddy that will love me forever.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids
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.
