BIO:  Brownie was a breeder release in middle Tennessee. Brownie is getting better but is still very shy when it comes to strangers. Here are our must have's for this sweet boy:

• A fenced yard
• No apartments or high rises
• Another young, small, well-socialized dog for him to play with and learn from
• A Dachshund savvy home that will give him the patience he needs to be a well socialized dog

Brownie is a beautiful Standard boy that is gorgeous and will turn heads every time you walk him on a leash on your street. But first you will need to socialize him so he won’t be scared of new people and things. That’s why we are looking for someone with Dachshund experience who knows the breed and how to help him. You will need patience and another young well-socialized dog to show him the ropes. He is approximately 22 pounds now but could get close to 28 pounds when he’s done growing. He warmed up fairly quickly with his foster mom, but she had Dachshund experience; if you push he might snap but he has not shown that with her. Foster dad was more of a challenge for him to get used to but now he allows foster dad to pet him and enjoys his attention.

Patience is the key with this boy, as well as the desire to make him a healthy, happy boy who is a part of the family.

============== 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.

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.
