BIO:  Ginger was adopted out 5 years ago and through no fault of her own she was returned. Ginger is housebroken and leash trained. She would be fine in an apartment or house with a fenced-in yard. Ginger will do fine with other dogs but does not like to be disturbed in her space so you’ll have to remind her that it’s ok to share.

Ginger’s one goal is to follow you wherever you go and be by your side. So if you are newly retired or work from home or are a stay at home, she’d love to come to your house and be your forever companion.  She loves to sleep in the big bed right next to you or wherever you want her to sleep on the bed, as long as it’s with you.

Ginger has had a fresh dental and as with all dachshunds will not need another until 2016. She’s a great gal and deserves not to be back in the foster care system after this so please consider Ginger and make this her LAST home. Thank you for thinking of rescue and remember we help with transports.

=============== Information for all dogs/adopters ==============

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $45 Fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into the state of CT, RI or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have an issue with this, you need to take this up with your legislatures.

We are now approved to adopt/foster in the state of NH but adopters will have to pay health certificate fee of $45.00 once to get the dog to our quarantine facility and another $50.00 fee to get the dog out of quarantine after two days.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please visit the Adoption Information.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and then you can complete an Application.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

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 or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well.  For now, please look for dogs on your coast.

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.
