This poor thing was scared out of her mind. No one at the shelter except one person could handle her and she would try to bite anyone else that did try to touch her. For that reason we say no kids under 14 yrs. When I got her to my home she was so scared she would not come out of the crate so after 4 hrs I finally had to dump her out of the crate. Then she hide or ran away from me for the rest of the day. By the next day she was letting me touch her and before the day was over I could pick her up and now she sleeps in my arms every night and loves to be held and loved on and will even give kisses. I do believe she was abused at one time as she at times is still skiddish and will side step you if you go to pick her up but we are slowly building up her trust. Anyone that adopts her will also have to let her come to them and not force her. She will come on her own because her desire to be loved is more than her fear of humans. She is UTD on all shots, on heartworm prevention and spayed and chipped.

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.
