BIO:  Luke was an owner surrender right here in TN. He had belonged to the elderly parent and was allowed to run the house therefore picked up some bad habits.

So, with our help he has gotten some manners but will need to go to an experienced dachshund owner. He came in over weight but we have gotten him down some but he may need to lose another pound or two. He really is a sweet happy boy. He loves to be outside and will do zoomies out in the yard in the morning. We do know that he does not like going to the vet to get his nails trimmed so a muzzle would have to be used. We also know that he doesn’t care for strangers so new people coming into the home would have to be made aware of this and not just walk in.

We think a quieter home would be best for him with few visitors but getting him out for walks or taking him to PetMart would be great for him.

If you are looking for a standard then here is your chance. Please help Luke find his last forever home.

• our must haves for Luke:
• a fenced in yard
• a quieter home
• can be an only dog or another small adult dog
• only adult children 14 yrs plus
• no apartments, high rises or condos

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