He was scared to death but we were called right away and we went and picked him up but it still took him two days to get over being traumitized by the shelter scene. He has since calmed down and is very very loving and want to cuddle with his foster family and sleep in the big bed with them. He is housebroken if kept on a schedule. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs and loves to play. If you are looking for a sweet sweet boy then VINNIE is the one for you. He may need some work with leash training but he's very eager to please cause all he wants is to love you and you to love him. Please give him a forever home where he won't be replaced by anyone or anything!! 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.

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.
