BIO:  Sadly Jemma’s owner had to surrender her because she didn’t get along with the other dog in the home. We promised the owner that we’d find her a great home. Jemma is a wonderful dog and gets along with all the Dachshunds in the foster mom’s home! She is happy to sleep in a doggie bed or crate with the door open in the bedroom at night and doesn’t even ask to come up on the Big Bed. We don’t see her wanting to play with the other dogs, she’s just happy to lay in a dog bed or lap when you are relaxing.

Our must-haves for gorgeous Jemma include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who can be home more often than not, but at least not let her be home alone for more than 6 hours
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos
• Another small dog to keep her company when you do have to be gone
• Someone who will have patience while she learns the routine, she’s very smart

Jemma was a little timid when she first came into rescue but she adjusted quickly. If you are looking for a sweet girl to add to your home, then consider Jemma.

============== 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 on the bio form.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. 

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 any 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 who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest.  We just can't get them from one coast to the other.  Please look for dogs on your coast.
