BIO:  

My name is Merlin! I am a 8 yr old Dachshund looking for my very own forever home where I will get lots of attention, regular exercise and get to sleep in the big  bed with you! Even though I am an inside kinda guy, I love to be outside and I walk really well on my leash! I love playing with the toys and I like to pile them all around me.  I would be happiest in a home with older children. I am house trained, crate trained, neutered and current on all my vaccines.

When I first got to my foster Mom's house, I was a little underweight but we are working on this problem because I love to eat! I have been told my foster mom that with all the running I love doing I will keep my weight at a good size.

 If you are interested in adopting Merlin or want to know more about me please email my foster mom. 

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.
