BIO:  Hope came from a breeder in NC who decided to retire her and let her have the pampered life so she deserves. We are looking for specific homes for all the dogs we took from this breeder:

• You must have a fenced yard
• You must be home a lot to house train her if you do not have a doggie door
• You must have patience because she doesn’t know a lot of things that a well socialized dog knows
• You must have another dog to help her get acclimated as a pet

If you meet all these requirements then please apply to see if you can be approved to adopt her.  Please remember she is not leash trained so you will either need to come and get her or send money so a crate can be purchased so we can send her in it on a volunteer transport to get her to you.

Now about Hope... she’s a sweet girl, still a little skittish around new people but once she’s used to you, she’ll come to you for attention and love. She gets along great with all the other foster dogs. We aren’t sure about cats so if you have one we could cat test, but if your cat runs that does kick in the prey drive on this breed. The key to making Hope a happy member of your home is patience. Please don’t apply just because she’s a rare color, apply to adopt her because you want to help her open up and be a socialized pet. She’ll return love and loyalty to you ten fold!

If you apply and are approved you'll either need to come to her foster home to get her or send us money for a crate so she can be transported up to you in it since she is not leash trained. Also, please understand you'll have to be willing to take the last leg of the transport if you want her to go on a volunteer transport.

============== 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 CT, RI, NH, ME, 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.

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

If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please review 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. 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.
