BIO:  Sherman was surrendered to a Tennessee shelter when his family could no longer care for him. He has been neutered, is up-to-date on shots, and has had a dental. Sherman is doing well in his foster home and gets along with the other dachshunds. He is interested in the cats but doesn't bother them.

Sherman likes being outside and checking everything out in the yard. He walks well on a leash. Sherman really loves his human and will always be at your side. He is very loving and has a great personality. With that being stated, we think he would do well with kids over 9 years of age and will need a home where he is not left alone for long periods of time.

We think Sherman has recovered from a back injury at some time in his life but don't let this stop you from checking him out because what a love bug he is.

Our must haves for sweet Sherman incldue:

• A fenced yard
• No apartments or high-rises
• Another small dog around his age
• Someone who is home a lot to keep him on his potty schedule

Please consider giving Sherman his forever home that he so deserves. He is a great dog!!!

============== 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 Midwest. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
