BIO:  Captain came from Arkansas where he was dumped on a Good Samaritan’s property along with his two brothers. Luckily for them, these people reached out to our rescue to see if we would take them. How could we say “no” to that face? 

Captain is adorable but he is a PUPPY. We think that he and his brothers were not allowed to be puppies in their original home so now that they are safe, they get to relax and be puppies.

Anything at all that is on the floor he will carry off, even takes things off chairs. I have had him for 3 weeks now, he's busy and fun and lovey. I have a 3 year old retriever and they play all the time. Another dog is a must. He does well with people and children. He sleeps in a wire crate and is in one when I am not home, because he is a puppy. He is doing very well with housebreaking. He loves to run around the yard so a fenced yard is a must. He's fast and loves to jump, and he loves to curl up with you or the other dogs. Must haves for Captain include:

• A fenced yard since he loves to play and do the “zoomies”
• Another young small dog for him to play with as he does love to play
• Someone who is home a lot to help him with his housetraining and to teach him to be a “good dog”
• No apartments or high rises

This boy is full of energy so if he doesn’t get to play with another dog or get that energy out by running or walks, he will get into mischief. Don’t let that stop you from adopting this sweet, sweet boy because ALL he wants is your love. And he’ll return it tenfold!

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.
