BIO:  Gemma is an owner surrender from a family in Middle Tennessee that had life changes and could no longer care for her like she wanted. It was a tough decision but one that had to be done.

Gemma is as sweet as they come and very friendly. She LOVES attention and will follow you where ever you go in the house and yard. She gets along great with other dogs male and female but please no big dogs because as little as she is and never having been around a big dog they would scare her too much.

We are also saying no to cats mainly because she’s never been around on and we have no way of properly testing her with a cat.

If you are looking for a love bug then Gemma would be the one for you but understand she has never been an only dog so we’ll only consider people that have another young, small dog to keep her company while you have to be out of the home.

Our must haves for Gemma are:

• Fenced in yard
• Someone that can be home more than not
• Another young, small dog for her to play with and cuddle with
• No apartments, high rises or condos since she like other Dachshunds likes to bark

If you think you can give Gemma the home she deserves please apply online and go through the approval process.

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