BIO:  Skye came from a shelter in Alabama and it was made very clear to us right away that she was not well cared for by her previous owner. This little, and we mean little, girl is just so very sweet! She gets along with all small dogs, but no big please as she’s too little to be with a big dog. Skye is all of 6 inches high and about 11 inches long, she's so TINY!

Our must haves for wee Skye include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot as she loves to cuddle
• She can be an only dog as well
• No big dogs or small children
• No apartments or high rises

Due to the fact that she was not well cared for, she has lost most of her teeth but if you feed her soft canned food she’ll be fine.

This little girl really wants someone who will hold her and cuddle with her, is that you?

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

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 dachshunds back or get bitten.

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 $55 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 will 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.

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. Please look for dogs on your coast.

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.
