This guy would be perfect for an older or younger couple. He does like to play a little too and loves to ride in the car and is leash trained. Dachshunds are know to live as long as 15-19 yrs so don't be afraid to adopt this boy, he's in great shape and very healthy. He is UTD on all shots and on Interceptor and frontline and is already chipped all you'd have to do is put the chip in your name and info. Don't wait long this boy will be snapped up in a new york minute!! Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome. We have several transporters that for a fee will bring the dog as close to you as possible up the Eastern seaboard. A home visit is required on all adoptions. We also micro chip all our dogs and must pass the cost on to the adopter. It is only $10.00.

It is also best to have a dog in mind that you would like to adopt or if you don't please let us know that you'd like a dog that best fits your lifestyle.

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.
