DACHSHUND..........................PURE/STANDARD COAT.........................................SMOOTH COLOR.....................................RED AGE...........................................7 YRS WEIGHT...................................16 LBS CONTACT DIANE ADOPTION FEE......................200.00 DUKE NEEDS A HOME NOW!! Duke was dumped at the shelter by his family cause he snapped at a grand child but they didn't even tell the sheter what his name was!! So we named him Duke and he's a delightful fellow but is overweight and needs to lose about 10lbs. He is 25 lbs right now and needs to be about 15. He loves car rides, walks and other dogs. He is just 7 yrs old. He is housebroken and loves to sleep in the doggie bed or wander in the yard. If you want a dog that's mellow that would be Duke. He would be great with a single person or an older couple. Please find it in your heart to give him a forever home without small children. If interested please go online to www..ssdr.org and fill out an online adoption application. Home visit is required and out of state adooptions are welcome.

Not Good with Cats, Is Not 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.
