BIO Update (12/8/2025): Buster is the epitome of a “Velcro” dog.  He loves his person and wants to be near and participate in all of his human’s activities.  There are two sides to this handsome gentleman’s personality.  He is a sweet, sweet boy, but there are times when he exhibits some behavioral issues - nothing very serious - that we are working through.  In the past, Buster had been allowed to establish his own rules which his subjects must obey.  When Buster’s little Napolean personality appears, he needs a leader who is firm and fair to love and guide him in understanding his boundaries within the family.  Buster is making progress in this area. He is well worth the effort.

Our must-haves for adorable Buster include:

• A fenced yard
• A dachshund savvy adopter who is a leader
• Someone who is home more often than not or is retired
• Another small, adult or senior dog for him to hang with
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos.  He is a barker.

Buster is most deserving of a loving home.  Could that be yours?

BIO: After 9 years with his adoptive family, Buster came back to us because he didn't like the grandchildren visiting the home. The problem was that Buster thought he ran the house. He is leery of strangers due to a lack of socialization. With that being said, he’s a great dog and loves being with people and is fine with other dogs. Whoever adopts Buster must be the "alpha" and let him know that he cannot run the show. When he understands that, he is a wonderful dog—happy and housebroken. He would do better with someone who is looking for a frosty face and is home most of the time. When you are home, he will follow you from room to room, but if you must leave, then he will bark. Are you willing to give him a chance at getting the last home of his life? Do not let his one behavior scare you off; it can be corrected, but you must be the alpha.

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