BEING FOSTERED IN TN Needs a dachshund savvie home because he is protective of his family so the next family will have to work with him on allowing strangers/vistors into the home without a fuss. We've had this boy for a while now and he's very sweet, a little on the shy side but loves to cuddle and be loved on just wants to make sure he's not going to be abused. He is housebroken and gets along great here with all of the foster brother and sisters.....very low key. Please consider giving this boy a forever home please.........The foster mom took him to the new doggie park in Nashville and he was great with big and small dogs and all the people he met so he's adjusting nicely to not being abused and it looks like not lasting effects of that abuse. Not much is known about TROY he came from a shelter in AL as an owner turn-in. Troy does fine with kids 8+. He is UTD on all shots and on heartworm preventative and frontline. Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome and a home visit is required. 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 interested 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.
