BIO:  Tyson comes from a family that had a lifestyle change in the Tennessee-Georgia area.  His wish list includes:

• Fenced yard
• Another dachshund to pal around with
• No apartments
• The secure space to patrol for and chase squirrels

Tyson is a loving, loyal and protective little guy who loves nothing more than lounging in your lap and being your best friend.  He was pampered and loved for 10 years by his previous owners (who adopted him from All American Dachshund Rescue in 2009), who now must seek a new and special home for him due to grandkids who are too young to understand how to be respectful of a dog's space.  When not close by your side, Tyson loves to sit near a window where he can see all the neighborhood comings and goings and alert you to the presence of visitors (he's a super watchdog!).  Tyson doesn't look or act his age of 11... he is fit and trim and the perfect picture of how a healthy dachshund is supposed to look. 

Some of the words that best describe Tyson are: loves unconditionally, loyal, smart, alert, happy, energetic and your best friend.  Tyson needs a fenced yard and enjoys outdoor time.  If you have a screened porch or other outdoor living area, that's a big plus as well.  Tyson will sit outside with you for hours protecting you from every bird, squirrel and any other critter that dares to invade your yard.  Tyson does well with other dogs as long as they are not aggressive or overly playful.  He has lived with another dachshund companion for the past 10 years and would probably enjoy a compatible dog friend in his new home. 

Tyson's favorite time of day is bedtime.  He has a built in clock and will remind you when it's time for his bedtime routine which consists of one last potty break, a small treat, then best of all getting to retire to the big bed with mom and dad.  Tyson's current owners want to make sure that he goes to an amazing new home and will be screening new applicants closely for the right fit.  Tyson is special and is deserving of someone who will appreciate, care for and love him the way that he is now.    

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.  If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $45 fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states.  If you have an issue with this, you need to take this up with your legislatures.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please review Read Before You Adopt and then you can complete an Application.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

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. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well.  For now, please look for dogs on your coast.

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.
