BIO:  Zeke was surrendered because there was a baby in the house and having a small child around made him too nervous. He came from Alabama. Zeke’s requirements are:

• A fenced yard
• No apartments or high rises
• No children or grandchildren under the age of 10 years and those children must respect his space
• Another dachshund or small dog for him to pal around with if you have to be gone, but he would prefer you home as well

Zeke is a great little boy but he doesn’t like vacuum cleaners going or thunderstorms so he probably will benefit with wearing a “Thunder Shirt” during storms. We believe that he was probably a puppymill baby and born in a metal building. Zeke loves to hang with his people but also enjoys the yard and that’s why he needs a fenced yard to wander in. If you are interested in knowing more about Zeke, please contact his foster mom or better yet, put in an application to adopt. You can’t go wrong with this boy!   

============== 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 and MidWest. 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.
