BIO:  Cooper came to us from Eastern Tennessee when his owners passed away, and the family worked too many hours to keep him. Cooper did go through a period of loss and confusion at being given up, but he’s slowly rallying and is getting less depressed.

He is a sweet, sweet boy who deserves a loving last forever home. He is in great health; his eyesight is not the best, but he can see to move around. He had a dental and didn’t lose any teeth, which is wonderful news.

He would do best with someone who is home most of the time as his previous owners were elderly. He’s fine with other dogs, young and old, and cats, too. He’s almost the perfect dachshund but does get anxious when left alone.

Consider adopting him and giving him his last forever home, please. 

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