SPIKE IS GREAT WITH THE FOSTER MOM'S GRANDKIDS AND CATS AND OTHER DOGS.......HE IS JUST A CUDDLE BUG ......PLEASE CONSIDER ADOPTING HIM AND HE IS ALSO COMPLETELY HOUSEBROKEN!! SPIKE was an owner turn in due to the woman got married had children and she said that SPIKE became jealous of the kids. His foster mom has not seen that and he has been around her 5 yr old g-son. The old owner said he would chew stuff when left home alone so foster mom crates him with a rawhide and a milkbone and he's fine when she comes back home so crating would be fine while out or at work as long as you aren't gone too long. He is housebroken, UTD on all shots, neutered and on Interceptor and Frontline. He does like to go for car rides and walks well on a leash and is fine out with people. If you would like to make this big boy your next exercise partner please go online to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online adoption application and be sure to put his name on the app. We do check references as well as do a homevisit. 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.
