BIO (5/2/2018): The perfect gentleman, Spikey the Dorky!!
Spikey is part Dachshund and part Yorkie, and such a sweetie! He was an owner surrender because of their young daughter’s allergy.
Spikey loves his foster brother and sister and has a very calm, non-dominant temperament. He loves to please and has learned sit and come in the first two days at his foster home. Spikey also loves long walks and walks perfectly on a leash by your side. He has caught on quickly how to use the doggy door but will let you know if he needs to go out if you ask. Spikey rides well in a car and sleeps as late as you do in his crate. He is not much of a barker and has a very laid-back personality, and never meets a stranger. He will thrive in just about any home. He just wants love and a place to stay forever!

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.
