BIO:  Dieter was found in the middle of a road in Middle Tennessee, and the Good Samaritan found the owner, but they no longer wanted him, so the Good Samaritan reached out to us to take him.

What a wonderful little boy he is! He just wants to be with you and for you to love him. He is a laid-back kinda fellow. We think he would be okay with cats, but have never cat tested him. He does get along with other dogs, both male and female, and enjoys their company. He loves the fenced yard!

Dieter does have a heart murmur but has no clinical signs. Sadly, because of poor/no dental care, he’s going to lose most of his teeth. He has already had the left side done but will need to go back to get the right side done so he’ll not be able to go to his forever home until the middle of August. That will give you time enough to prepare for his arrival if approved.

Please consider adopting Dieter... you will not be sorry!

Our must-haves for precious Dieter include:

• A fenced yard
• Another adult small dog for him to pal around with
• Someone who is home more often than not
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos

Please don’t make Dieter wait for that last furever home.

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