BEING FOSTERED IN MIDDLE TN


Hi My name is Sweet Pea and as my name implies I am very sweet. Although I just weaned a litter of babies I still have plenty of puppy inside of me. I love squeaky toys and will gather up every one that I can find in my foster mom's home. I chomp on them twice and then go and look for another one. At the end of the day I have about 20 squeaky toys on her bed that must be removed before we can get some sleep. I am not used to this staying inside the house business because I came from a backyard breeder and, although I LOVE it, I am not sure of all of the rules yet. I will at times chew on things that I THINK are toys but are not really toys like your favorit slippers. I love to sit outside and lounge in the sun so a home where I can do that safely would be great. And while we are on the subject .. I am not sure about this doing your business thing. At my foster home there are wee wee pads and they don't look at that different from the rug to me so I am not sure which one to use at times and then I get praise for going outside and doing these same things so I will need work on where to go.
My foster mom says that she really enjoys having me around and she is sorry to see me go but she needs to help some more puppies. She said that I was a great mom and very attentive and now that I have weaned the puppies I should have a home to relax and enjoy life. I am not sure about all of that but we will see. For now I am content to play with toys, lounge in the sun, and mother my foster brother who is blind. He needs help so I clean his face for him and check on him to make sure he is ok. My foster mom says he already has three sisters to help him out but I try to do what I can do.
If you are interested in adopting me and don't mind working on my pottying and chewing issues, please fill out an application for me. I would love to come home with you and I know that with positive guidance I will be the best dog ever for you.

Good with Dogs, Is Not Good with Kids

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.
