BIO UPDATE (10/6/2021):  Johnny is doing so well in his foster home! He loves to play with other dachshunds, has mastered the doggie door, loves running the yard, and plays with his toys. Johnny is good with commands, loves walking on a leash, and enjoys meeting new people and animals. Johnny would love to have a “Furever Home” of his own. He is a great little pup!

BIO:  Johnny came from Illinois when he was rescued by a Good Samaritan from an abusive situation. He is a little timid at first but does warm up quickly. Because of his timidity, we are saying children/grandchildren 10 and over only because loud noises and running would make him too nervous. He’s fine with other dogs that like to play and has been having a ball playing with other young Dachshund in the foster home.

Our must haves for this gorgeous boy include:

• No apartments or high-rises as he does like to bark at noises
• A fenced yard is a must for him to run off his puppy energy
• Another young small dog for him to play and run with
• Someone who is home a lot to help him master his house breaking skills

While he has only been in our rescue for less than a week, we already know he’s going to be a great dog once he gets neutered. He is a little shy but if you give him time he does warm-up and is your best friend in no time. He loves attention! Because he’s been in at least two homes, we are going to be very selective where he goes so this will be his last home.

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

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 dachshunds back or get bitten.

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 $55 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 will 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.

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 MidWest. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
