BIO:  Princess came from Alabama when her owner could no longer safely care for her. Unfortunately, she’d let Princess out to potty and she’d forget to let her back in and she would wander the neighborhood. The family was afraid she’d be hit by a car.

Princess is a sweet, quiet girl who is overweight and needs to shed some pounds to be healthy. She is shy at first until she gets to know you but once she does, she’ll follow you from room to room just wanting to be by your side. She will go to the door and ask to go out so a fenced yard is a MUST. We will not adopt to anyone in an apartment because of all the outside noises that may set her off. While she’s not a barker, she is a Dachshund. She is crate trained and will lay in her crate while you are gone though she can be left out too.

Our must haves (no exceptions, please) for Princess include: 

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot to be her companion OR another dog to keep her company
• No apartments or high-rises
• No stairs in the home and NO jumping for her
• Someone who will continue to help her lose weight

If you are looking for that perfect Dachshund, no need to look further! Princess would love to have a home for the holidays, is that yours??

============== 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. 

There will be an additional $55 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state they are being fostered in. 

Due to the pandemic we will not adopt or transport any Dachshunds into Canada.

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.
