BIO:  Peanut came from FL when he was posted on CraigList for free. He was a breeder dump because he was cryptorchid and the breeder would not want that in a breeding dog due to the chance of him not being able to in pregnant a female. A Good Samaritan got him in fear of him ending up in the wrong hands and being bait.

He is timid from not being socialized but he has warmed up and is doing very well. At first, he was scared but has slowly come out of his shell and is doing very well with the other fosters and his foster people, male, and female.

We have male and female fosters and he is doing very well with all. We are going to say no big dogs, please or cats.

We are looking for someone that has the patience to help Peanut to be the pet he should be. If you do then you will have the best boy and so loving too.

Our must haves for him are:

• Fenced in yard
• Another small, young, well socialized dogs to help him feel comfortable in your home
• Someone that can be home more than not
• No apartments, high rises, or condos

If you have the time and patience then this is the boy for you and he will repay it 100 times over in loyalty. Thank about it.  

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