Rupert is a red dapple 14 mo old neutered male that just lives to play ball. He was given up by his previous owner due to family member having allergies. He comes with his toys, crate and blanket and a set of instructions from his previous own as to his likes and dislikes. He is house broken but also uses a puppy pad if you have to leave him loner than he can hold it. He loves to go for walks and he loves car rides as well. Most of all he loves to "PLAY BALL". If you are interest in Rupert please go online and fill out an online adoption application with www.ssdr.org They will contact you about doing a home visit and out of state adoptions are welcome. Please give Rupert a fenced in yard that he can play ball in!!

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.
