BEING FOSTERED IN TN SPORTY came in with SLUGGER as an owner tune-in, we don't know why they were turned in but this girl is LOVEBUG all the way. She will just about turn inside out to get you to pay attention to her and she knows no stranger so if you are looking for a watch dog, she's not the one for you but if you are looking for someone to keep you company where ever you go and sleep with you then this is the girl. When she came to us she had very little hair due to a throid problem. We have her on medication and we'll see if she has to stay on it, if so then she will be special needs and will be adopted for a lower adoption fee. Her hair is growing back and don't let the white on her face fool you she is not old. She simply loves belly rubs and loves to be a couch potato but will play with the other dogs from time to time. She is UTD on all shots and on Interceptor and Frontline and will be given a dental before she goes to her forever home. If you are interested in making Sporty your very own please go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online app and be sure to put her name on the app. 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.
