BIO: Hello, my name is Ollie and I am about 5 years old.  My foster mom says I act like I am closer to 2 years old.  I LOVE to play with squeak toys and am super curious about life.  I think this is because my life did not start out too good.  I was living on the streets and my back legs did not work at all.  I had to use my front legs to drag my body around.  I do not remember what happened, but my vet says I suffered from a slipped disc in my back.  I was so scared in the shelter, and I heard someone say I was on the list to be put down.  I'm not sure what that meant, but the next thing you know I was in a nice lady's car on the way to my foster home.

I have had 3 months of therapy and feel like a new man.  There are things I can never do again: wrestle with other dogs, jump on or off furniture, or play tug of war.  I need to go to a home where my family understands my special needs, but please know that this does not slow me down.  I should not be around small children as I am still scared of loud noises and fast moving people.  I would not make a good apartment dog since I like to be vocal about noises and cars passing by.

From my foster mom:  Ollie is the sweetest boy, and would make a wonderful pet for the right family.  He will be available to go to his forever home on AUGUST 1, 2010 
 

Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.  
 
If shipping by volunteers through our organization or paid transporter, then there will be an additional $35

Fee r the Health Certificate required. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  Please Read Before You Adopt to learn more about transportation options.  If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and Fill Out an Application.  

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.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
