 AADR is a non-profit 501(c)(3) volunteer based organization. We work tirelessly to save homeless Dachshunds and place them into loving, forever families.

Understand The Pack mentality? Standard sized, wired hair, Winston, is looking for you and a female dog playmate in a quiet home.
Winston came from Georgia when the owner could no longer keep him due to family issues. Winston was not well socialized and is anxious about loud noises and strangers. For this reason, we had him in training to help him with new people and everyday situations. We want to keep him in neighboring states so he can be picked up from the trainer, and she can help them should they need help with him if he backslides.
In his foster home, he is a great dog, happy, and loves to play with his foster people and the foster female. We are unsure about male dog. He is a small standard wire, and we think he would do great with another small to medium-sized female.
Our must-haves for adorable Winston include:
- A fenced yard - small-to-medium-sized, young female to play with - Someone who understands the pack mentality - No apartments, high-rises, condos, or anything with shared walls
Please see more information and additional photos of Winston here!

Calm and sweet Gunter would be a great buddy to someone with retired breeder dog experience and has another little furry pal!
Gunter is a retired breeder dog that came to us from NC. He is a very sweet little guy who likes to be with you at all times. He is very quiet, doesn't make a sound, unless he can't see you.
He is potty trained on puppy pads and going outside. He does have an occasional accident but very rarely. He can use a doggie door with no problems.
Gunter currently has two foster siblings who he follows around but doesn't really play with, but will carry a squeaky toy around like a prize! His foster siblings are Chihuahuas, and he's been around a few other dogs. He doesn't seem to mind any of them. He's also been around his foster home's cat who he has a no interest in. He sleeps all night in his kennel and curls up and sleeps in his seat on car rides. Gunter goes to work with his foster parent every day and is as quiet as a mouse. He doesn't chew on things or get into anything.
With his fur being a blue and tan-dilute he does have some pattern baldness and will be prone to sunburn so t-shirts or manly muscle shirts should be a part of his wardrobe. In winter, Gunter will be more sensitive to cold tempertures than the average Dachshund and would need to wear coats and sweaters. But hey, dressing your pup in cute shirts and sweaters is just one of the fun things about having a Doxie!
Our must haves for Gunter are:
- Fenced in yard - Another younger to adult well-socialized dog for Gunter to hang with. NO big dogs - he's never been around them - Someone with breeder dog experience is a plus - No apartment, high rises or condos, please
Gunter is a very well-behaved dog and would be perfect for someone who wants a constant companion. Please see additional information and more photos of Gunter here.

We have Dachshunds in our system not yet listed on this site:
Some of our rescued dogs just aren't ready for adoption yet, usually due to the need of medical attention. If we don't currently have "your" special dog, please watch our website for new dogs added weekly. If you don't see any Dachshunds in your exact location, don't let that discourage you! We have members and supporters all over the country which allows us to have a wonderful volunteer transportation network. We will make our best effort to work with you on getting that special Dachshund as close to you as possible! Please understand we can not adopt to the West Coast as that is just too far to transport our dogs. Look for Dachshund rescues on the West Coast.
