Suzie Q is a beautiful little red girl who's apparently had a rough start in life. She's only about 3-4 years old, but her scars make her look older. Someone must've dropped her off in the middle of nowhere because that's where she was found. She was sitting patiently on the side of the road for someone to come save her. We don't know where she came from, or what kind of person had her, but regardless, she has so much love to give. She freely gives kisses and wants only to be with you in your lap. She gets along very well with other dogs and would probably be fine with children. She is current on vaccinations and is presently going through heartworm treatment. After that, she will be as good as new. She is wanting so badly a home of her own. Suzie-Q is a small girl, at about 10-11 pounds, is crate trained but, like all dachshunds, needs help with house-breaking. If you are looking for a greatful companion, this is your girl. She will love you forever. If you are interested in her, please fill out an application on line today. 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.

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.
