BIO:  Charlie came in from AL but was from IL when the owner pass away. He was one of three dogs. One has been adopted and Snoopy along with Charlie is still looking for that special forever home.

Sadly Charlie is HW pos and will not be able to go to his forever home until the middle of Aug. but the wait will be worth it as he is such a great dog.

Charlie, does not know a stranger. He is a friendly, happy boy. You are instantly his friend and he lets you know that by wagging his tail and running up to you to say “Hi.”

We are not sure how he would do with cats so we said “no” to cats but other dogs male or female he is great with.  He does not really care for a kennel but would be fine left unintended left in a room or house while you ran out doing some errands.

Sadly because of poor dental care he has lost all his teeth except his lower canines.

Our must haves for Charlie are:

• A fenced in yard and he loves the outside
• Another adult small dog for him to hang with
• Someone home more than not
• No high rises, condos or apartments as Dachshunds do like to bark

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