BIO:  Lexie is a retired breeder surrendered from North Carolina. This little (and I mean little!) girl's tail never stops wagging! For a breeder dog, she is very socialized. Lexie does not know a stranger and is happy all the time. She has had a fresh dental and only lost one tooth, which is amazing for a breeder dog.

If you are looking for a mini, then you have found her! The only thing is that she will need further help with potty training. With that, she will be perfect! At most, she should be 7 pounds; anything over that and she’s too fat.

Our must-haves for little Lexie include:

• A fenced yard
• Another young small dog for her to learn to play and cuddle with
• Someone who is home more often than not
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos

This is your chance to adopt a true mini, do not wait, she will be spoken for no time. Foster mom really likes her, and if she were looking for a dog to foster fail, this would be the one, but you will be the lucky one if you pass and are approved to adopt her. DO NOT WAIT.

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