If you are interested in making OZZY a part of your family please go online to www.ssdr.org and fill out the online app and be sure to put his name on the app. We think he would be ok with older kids maybe 10 and up. Please don't let the fact that he's older from stopping you from adopting him. He is sweet, likes to play with a tennis ball and loves to cuddle and could live to be 19+ as dachshunds are know to live quite a long time if they are well cared for and given regular checks and kept utd on shots and on heartworm prevention. 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 on 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.
