I have had a hard time these past few weeks. You see, my mom who had owned me since I was a baby, took me to the shelter, a shelter where lots of dogs don't get to ever leave.. I was very scared, you see, my chances were not good. Mostly because I am 15 years old and nobody wants a dog that old, no matter how sweet I am. And I really am. I am content just to lay and sleep on foster mom's lap or in the sun (my two most favorite places). My playing days are over. Now I am content just to nap. I am no trouble at all. I'm housebroken and I don't bark or dig or whine. I just try to take what the world dishes out and keep my chin up.. I just need a loving heart to hold me close and give me peace and happiness as I go through this winter season of my life. From her foster mom---Priscilla is an absolute angel. I cannot fathom the person who would dump her at the shelter after having her all of those years...thrown away like nothing more than a bag of trash. They require so little and give us so much. Please, I know there is a wonderful person out there with a huge heart who is willing to give little Priscilla the love and care she needs so desperately for as long as she may have left. She is quite healthy for her age and so far is on no long term medications. She has had a dental during which she lost most all her teeth and is heartworm negative and on hw prevention and Advantage for fleas. She likes other dogs and is fine with cats, too. I think a home with no young children would be best only because she deserves to have a bit of peace and quiet. Occasional visits from the grandkids would be okay though as long as they were very very gentle with her. She is so tiny and fragile. 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. Thank you for your interest in a rescue.To fill out an application for this dog plesae go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an app. we will be in touch shortly to do a phone interview. 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.
