BIO:  Garth's momma came from Texas very pregnant and 10 days later, she had 8 puppies (sadly 3 did not survive). Momma is a Dachshund-Miniature Pinscher mix but momma won’t say what daddy was, other than he didn’t stick around. Little Garth's needs include:

• Absolutely no apartments
• A fenced yard
• Someone to be home a lot to housetrain (even after the pandemic)
• Another younger small dog or cat
• No children under 10 years, no exceptions

Garth loves to play with toys and his other brothers and sisters. Garth is clearly going to be a black and tan like his mamma and he also has a white blaze on his chest. He is a sweetie and is beginning to play. He's also learning how to use his voice and do a play growl at the rest of the pack.

He will not be able to go to his forever home until after the 3^rd of June when he gets his 2^nd set of puppy shots; his adopter will need to get him the 3^rd set and the Rabies vaccination. If you choose to use our volunteer transport, you must be willing to help us in the future and pay the $45.00 health certificate or if approved, you can come and get him on the 4^th of June.

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.
