BIO:  Frankie needs your help! He came from TN and was not socialized when he was a puppy so he’s fearful of new people. With his family and he warms up to you he is fine very playful and loving but he doesn’t do well with strangers. That’s were you come in, help him to understand that no one is out to get him and strangers are OK. It will take time and patience but it will be to his benefit to over come his fear of the unknown.

He also was not neutered until we got him which did not help his situation but now that he is and with your help we think he will make a wonderful pet.

He loves to play with other dogs and loves his toys but may guard them  from other dogs. Loves to play fetch but don’t expect him to bring the ball back!

So if you are willing to take a chance on Frankie he’s willing to take a chance on 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.
