BIO:  Samson is a retired breeder dog out of NC.  He is still learning what it is like to be a pet. This is where you come in, patience is the key to Samson’s heart.  We can tell he wants hugs and kisses, but he is just not sure.  Remember breeder dogs are not shown attention like other puppies that go into people’s homes so he must warm to the idea of being a pet, but he still has a way to go.  Can you help him?

Samson is not a barker so he can be in an apartment or condo, ground floor if you have an attached fence to your home.  He says he would also prefer a warmer climate than here in Tennessee!

Our must haves for Samson are:

• Fenced in yard 
• Someone home more than not
• Another adult small dog for him to hang with
• Someone that is patient and has breeder dog experience
• No apartments, high rises or condos, please

If you meet these requirements then make Samson’s wish come to for a home for spring. Apply online on our website, Samson says he’s waiting for YOU.

 ============== 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.
