BIO: Hi! My name is Buttercup and I want to be friends with all humans. I am so full of energy and I willingly share my puppy kisses as often as possible. I am happy, happy, happy all the time! I enjoy playing with other dogs as long as they are content with me being the alpha dog. I will happily take walks with you and go anywhere that you go, especially if it is the kitchen. If given a choice, I will choose your bed to sleep on. I will tolerate a crate if forced to do so and I settle down pretty quickly. My foster mommy and daddy are working to get me to do my business outside all the time rather than just some of the time. I would much rather use puppy pads, especially on cold, wet mornings; but they seem quite certain that I will learn to potty outside. I am so looking forward to a forever human family to love me as much as I will love them!

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.
