BIO:  Lucy was found as a stray in Alabama. She loves to be around people and does well with children over 10 years old. She is not comfortable in your lap or up on furniture but will be happy to play on the floor with you. Lucy loves to be petted and have her ears scratched. She is housebroken, walks well on a leash, and will let you know when she needs to go out. She is not a barker at all except if she is out in the yard, she will come to the back door and bark once or twice to alert me she wants back inside. Lucy gets along well with other dogs and is not defensive or aggressive with dogs she does not know when we are out for a walk. She needs a fenced yard as she likes to roam and relax in the grass. 

Lucy is on medication for Cushing’s Disease, which will need to be continued for the rest of her life. This sweet girl will be happy to take all the love you can give her!

What we need for this little lady:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot
• Another dog in the home to keep her company
• No apartments or high-rises

If you can meet these requirements and give Lucy a loving forever home, fill out an application today!
 

============== 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 dachshund’s 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 Mid-West. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
