BIO:  Patchy came from a shelter in East Tennessee when his owner passed away, and the family didn’t want him. Putting a senior dog in a shelter is a death sentence, but lucky for Patchy, an Angel let us know he was there, and we pulled him.

When he came to us, he was very confused, and we were not sure he’d be able to adapt, but with time he finally did, and he started eating and getting adjusted to his foster home. Patchy is a sweet, sweet boy and an easy keeper. All he wants is a soft bed, a good meal, and some loving attention once in a while, and he’s a happy boy content to sleep the day away, dreaming of his younger years.

Our must-haves for sweet Patchy include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who will give him love and affection
• Other dogs in the home
• A nice warm bed and good food
• Someone to let him out when he has to go
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises

If you think you can give this boy his last forever home, please do. It may take him a bit to get used to his new home, but once he does he’s no trouble at all.

============== 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.
