BIO:  Frankie came from a breeder who said it was time for him to retire. He was scared when he first came in, but the longer he has been with our rescue, the better he has gotten. We do know that he will need to go to a quiet home where he can learn to trust and be comfortable. Children who are loud or running would scare him too much. We also know that he needs someone patient as he learns what it means to be a pet.

Sadly, due to a dental when he first came to us, he has lost all the rest of his teeth, so he'll need soft food and treats. We just take hard food and soften it with warm water, and he eats it right up. Having no teeth doesn't bother our sweet boy, and we are sure he feels so much better without those nasty teeth in his mouth.

Please give this boy a chance to be the pet he should be! We have learned one thing: he loves to have his coat brushed and will stand while you brush him and talk to him sweetly.

Our must-haves for adorable Frankie include:

• A fenced yard
• Another small, well-socialized adult dog whom he can learn from
• Someone who is home more often than not or is newly retired
• Someone with breeder dog experience is best

If you meet these requirements, please visit our website and apply online.

 ============== 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.
