BIO:  Waylon came into rescue with two other soft-coated wires from Illinois when the owner passed away. A rescue in Alabama brought them down South, then asked if we would take them. How could we say no? Waylon is very friendly to both man and beast. We are not sure about cats. Sadly, he did lose 30 teeth with his dental, but we are sure he feels a lot better getting those nasty teeth out of his mouth.

He really doesn’t know a stranger and greets everyone with a wag of the tail. He will need help with further potty training and leash training, but the results will be well worth it. If you are looking for a friendly boy to add to your family, you need look no further.

Our must-haves for adorable Waylon include:

• A fenced yard
• Another small dog for him to pal around with
• Someone who can be home more often than not
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos

If you're ready to add him to your home, he's ready and waiting!

============== 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 dachshund’s back or get bitten.

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form.  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 $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. 

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 any 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 who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest.  We just can't get them from one coast to the other.  Please look for dogs on your coast.
