BIO UPDATE (11/24/24):  Gretta is doing great in her foster home! She loves palling around the fenced-in yard with her 3 foster sisters and barking at all the squirrels, deer, and wild turkeys. She gets very scared at any loud noise and will take off running, so a fenced yard is a must. Gretta loves to snuggle on the couch when you are relaxing. She will get all excited if she thinks it’s time to get on the couch! She is still very timid around strangers, which will take time and work. She has come a long way since coming to her foster home, but a lot of work still needs to be done to make Gretta a wonderful and loving pet. This little girl is worth every minute of it!

BIO:   If you are looking for a young sweetie, look at Gretta! 

Gretta came from Alabama when her owner was evicted from her home. A Good Samaritan took her so she would have a soft landing. Unfortunately, she was not well-socialized as a puppy and, therefore, is timid around strangers. She has gotten much better since coming into rescue, but the new adopters will need time and patience for her to come around. She has just had so many changes. If you give Gretta a chance, she will make a wonderful pet and companion!

Our must-haves for sweet Gretta include:

• A fenced in yard
• Another young, small dog to play with and learn from
• Someone willing to take the time with Gretta so she can learn to trust and become a pet
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos; she would be very uncomfortable in these situations

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