BIO:  Disclaimer - it was wet the morning these pictures were taken.

Ruth came from North Carolina when a breeder retired her. When she first came she was very timid but after getting attention she has decided she likes it. She’ll be timid when going into her new home but with patience from you, she’ll come around and want to be with you. We are recommending she go to a home with another young, small, well-socialized dog that she can learn how to be a pet from. She doesn’t even know how to play but she likes toys! Please, don’t want to adopt her because of her fur color or the fact that she’s a wire. What you’ll need is patience and the desire to teach her how to be a pet not a breeding dog. Three things you’ll need to remember patience, patience, patience. Also, it will help if you’ve had past experience with breeder or puppymill dogs. We’ll pick her furever home very carefully.

Our must have for beautiful Ruth include:

• A fenced yard
• No apartments, high-rises, or condo’s
• Someone who is home a lot to help her with her housetraining
• Another young, small dog for her to learn from

She really is a sweet little girl and needs a chance to show you what a great, loysl pet she’ll be if you’ll give her that chance!

============== 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.
