BIO: CALLING ALL Lab LOVERS want a short legged version of a long legged Lab?

Maverick came in as a stray from a shelter in northern Alabama and we just could not say no to this boy. Maverick's list includes:

• Must have a fenced yard
• No apartments due to high energy
• Kids would be great - he loves them!!! 7 years and up.
• Another bigger/younger dog for him to play with

Talk about a boy that is beautiful inside and out, that would be Maverick! What a sweetie and he loves people and other dogs, and loves to be a lap dog too. If 30 pounds is too big for your lap, he’s happy to lay beside you on the couch.

We think he would do best with another dog to play with and pal around with. Keep in mind he’s not your lazy Lab, he has enough Dachshund in him that he likes to run and play and follow you from room to room and see what you are doing. In his foster home he’s not so much into sleeping in the big bed but he does like to sleep in the same room you are sleeping in.

If you are looking for a sweet dog to be with your kids in your fenced yard and be their buddy then look no further, you have found him. Also look close... he has a blue strip in his one eye, interesting!

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.
