BIO:  Stretch was a shelter pull from East Tennessee. The shelter was told that he was a stray but we believe the owners turned him in. Later we found out that he had a broken pelvis that was healing so we had to crate-rest him. Stretch was also very thin when he came into rescue, probably from the nasty teeth that were in his mouth. He came in at 13 pounds and we have him up to 16 pounds. He is a good eater and doing well.

These are his must haves:

  • A fenced yard
  • Someone that’s home quite a bit since he loves people
  • Possibly another small female dog, or he could be an only dog
  • If there is another dog in the home, understand that he’s food and toy aggressive so they would have to be closely monitored
  • No apartments or high rises

With a hunter dachshund nose and curious about everything, Stretch is a great dog who loves to run and play outside. He also loves going for walks and runs on the leash. Stretch is already attached to his foster mom, wanting to be near her at all times, giving kisses, and rolling over for belly rubs. He does have some separation anxiety when left home alone, so his new family would need to work with him on that.

While Stretch does well with female dogs, he doesn't like male dogs and would be better as an only dog or with a female dog for a companion. He smiles a lot, loves to burrow, and is really coming out of his shell with his foster dachshund sister. A true Dachshund, Stretch will make a loyal companion for his new forever family. He deserves a family who will appreciate him, keep him safe, and not abandon him again.

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.
