BIO UPDATE (11/11/24):  Just a quick update from Olivia’s foster mom: Olivia has been with me for two weeks, and I have found that she loves giving kisses and being with her people. This beautiful girl is going to make someone a wonderful companion! Olivia enjoys her quiet times at home but also wants to be involved in whatever you are doing. She has learned to walk on a leash and rides well in the car. As an added bonus, Olivia is now house-trained if kept on schedule.

BIO:  Olivia is a retired breeder dog from North Carolina looking for her forever home. Are you ready to be her new family? She will need someone with patience until she learns she is now a pet. It’s preferred that you are home most of the time or work from home and can take the time to take her outside to potty on a schedule. She will use a puppy pad most of the time.

Our must-haves for beautiful Olivia include:

• A fenced yard
• Another small, well-socialized dog from her to learn from
• Someone who is home a lot
• Single-family home only, this is best for her as she may bark at strange noises
• Someone with enough patience to see her blossom into the pet she can be

If you meet these requirements, please apply online at our website. Thank you for thinking of rescue.

 ============== 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.
