We believe that Toby was badly abused in his short life and even worse yet he is heartworm positive. He will be going through treatment and will be ready to go to his new hom the middle of June. He Gets along great with other dogs, older kids. Toby loves to go for car rides and walks on a leash. He is leary of strangers and will bark when someone comes to the door or to the yard. He loves to sleep next to you in the big bed or does fine in a crate. This is one sweet boy and deserves his own family. We believe that he would do best with kids over 10 as smaller children can be too rowdy for him and frighten him. He is very friendly and just wants to give and get love. Please find it in your heart to give him the kind of life he deserves. Please go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online adoption application or to get more info on this great guy. Out of state adoption are welcome and home visit is required.

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.
