BIO:  

Oscar ended up a small rural animal shelter when his owners could no longer care for him.  He is very friendly and got along well with everyone he met there including the shelter cat!  He lost several teeth when he had his dental cleaning, but has no trouble eating dry dog food that has been moistened with water.  He is a happy little fellow!  Oscar is a little timid at first, but warms up to new people very quickly.  He gets along well with other dogs.  He likes to play for a little while and then relax in a dog bed or a lap.  Oscar walks well on a leash and enjoys walks around the neighborhood.  He is housebroken and will use a pee pad if you are not home to let him out.   During the day, he stays out in the house and has been very well-behaved.  He greets me happily when I get home.  At night, he sleeps quietly in his crate or a dog bed.  He would also be happy to sleep with his people.  Oscar would do well with other dogs or as an only dog as long as he gets walks, play time, and lap time.  

If you are looking for a cheerful little friend, Oscar is your guy!

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.
