BIO:  If you wish to adopt two puppies let us know and we'll work with you on the adoption fees.

Patty is the daintiest of the puppies but holds her own against her brothers.

These babies were born in rescue 5 days after we took in their mom and daddy from a family that was moving and could not take them where they were moving to.

The mom was DNA tested, and she is 56% Dachshund, 29% Chihuahua, and 15% two other breeds. Mom is about 8 pounds so none of her puppies will be big.

Patty is the only girl and is approximately a pound and a half, and she has to fight like a boy to keep up with all her brothers. Her personality is just starting to come through, and she is a bit of a drama queen. If you are interested in adopting her, please go to the website and fill out the online adoption application with her name selected

We have DNA tested all the puppies, and 2 breeds were detected in Patty’s DNA:  

61% Dachshund
24% Chihuahua

They are now eating dry puppy food like a champ.

Our must-haves for little Patty include:

• A fenced yard
• Another young dog, under 20 pounds to play with
• You must have enough time to potty train her
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises (no shared walls) 

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