BIO:

Oscar M was given to AADR to find a new home when his owners had to move and were unable to take him with them. Oscar has a typical long-haired dachshund’s sweet, happy temperament. He enjoys playing with his foster siblings, but backs off when the boys get too rough. Oscar is just happy to be in the yard and enjoying the spring weather. Oscar LOVES attention and will be a great snuggle buddy and lap dog! He gets along well with both male and female foster siblings. He is gentle natured, but small children will probably scare him. Older children who know to be respectful of a small dog and handle them gently will be fine.

He seems to be housetrained and quickly fell in to the routine of the other dogs in his foster home. Always remember that dachshunds need an extra dose of patience and be prepared to encourage good manners with special treats. Oscar M is sweet and loving and will never be a dog that will respond to scolding. If you are looking for the next love of your life, complete an application for Oscar M!

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.
