BIO: MUST HAVE a MALE doxie in the home.

Hi, my name is Johanna and I'm looking for my forever home.  Please do not let my beauty blind you.  I'm a breeder dog, and therefore I have some issues.  I will need either a doggie door or a schedule for pottying.  I need a fenced in yard because I'm going to be timid at first until I can trust you.  When I get anxious, I run in circles.  I can NOT go to a home with a female dog.

My previous family over fed me so I need to lose some weight, about 2 pounds, but I'm working on that.

I'm not one that likes to play with toys or play with other dogs, I'm just happy to follow you around and lay on your lap. Please don't think just 'cause I don't like female dogs that I can be an only dog, I cannot. I need a male dachshund to lean on and learn from.

Also, with my humans, I'm better with females than males.  Please remember all these things when you look at me and fall in love with my beauty.  I'm not going to be easy to adopt but if you're up to the challenge then please, contact my foster mom for more details.

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.
