He is just about the sweetest thing their is and will set for ours and look deep into your eye and you can see the love and devotion in his. He is a little shy at first but does warm up especially if you hold him in your lap and stroke his coat. He would be fine with older children and probably cats. Other dogs are fine and would need a fenced in yard. Needs work on leash training. He is housebroken to a doggie door. He is UTD on all shots and on Interceptor and Frontline. If you look at his face and fall in love with him please go online to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online application and make sure you put his name on the app. We will be in touch shortly after we get the app. Please understand none of our dogs are outside dogs and can't be left unattended outside for long lengths of time, we will not adopt to people that think these dogs can be left out while they are at work. Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome and a home visit is required. We also micro chip all our dogs and must pass the cost off to the adopter. It is only $10.00. Thank you for your interested in a rescue.

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.
