BIO:  Ollie came to us when his owners had to move and they felt it would be too stressful on him to have to move as many times as they were looking at.

Ollie came from an illegal breeder and because of that was not socialized and is scared of new things and people.  Someone that adopts him will need to have patience with him while he gets comfortable with his new world.

When he came to us it took him several days to eat and get comfortable and wag his tail when we would  come home or into the room. Now that he has been with us for a while he growl talks to us with tail wagging (how cool is that). He gets along with the other dogs in the home and will play some but is more interested in his foster mom or dad paying attention to him.

Our must haves for him are:

• A fenced in yard
• He can be an only dog but the new owners must have someone that is home more than not
• No big dogs or cats
• He can have another small young dog for when he wants to play
• No apartment, condos, or high rises

If you see the possibility of him being your best friend then take a chance, you will not be sorry, he really is a joy to have as a foster.

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

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend.  We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest.  We just can't get them from one coast to the other.  Please look for dogs on your coast.
