NAME.............................STEVIE DACHSHUND..............PURE/MINI COAT.............................SMOOTH COLOR.........................BLACK & TAN AGE...............................3 1/2 YRS GENDER......................MALE/NEUTERED WEIGHT........................<10 LBS ADOPTION FEE..........225.00+10.00 contact Eric/Shelly at ebohan74@bellsouth.net STEVIE came in with APRIL in a neglect case in KY. He had to be completely vetted and a dental. He is very sweet but a little more stand offish than APRIL but he does like to be held as well. He will snuggle with you but not all the time. He gets along with all the other dogs here, male and female. He is not too bonded with APRIL that we can't adopt them separate. He would be fine in a home with or without other dogs, not sure about cats and children older than 8 we think would be best. He really is a sweet boy and deserves a chance to have a great home. He is housebroken to a doggie door and could be housebroken period but only time in a home without a doggie door will tell that story. If not it won't take him long to be if he's not already. He is UTD on all shots, neutered and heartworm negative and on Interceptor. Give this boy a chance at a new and better life. 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 please 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. Keep in mind that we are all volunteers and have other obligations so please let your references and vet know that we will be calling to vai all info that you put on your application. If you use two vets then please let us know that so we get all info on your dog possible to determine if you are a suitable home for our dog. If you do not let us know these things this maybe the factor that you will be turned down to adopt one of our dogs.

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.
