BIO:  Starla came from a breeder in NC when she decided to retire her and let us find her a great home, would that be you? She is a little shy at first but warms quickly and is your best friends after a bit.

She gets along with other small young dogs and will learn to play when she realizes she is a pet. Please no senior dogs in the home as she needs to learn to play. No big dogs as she has never been around them and no small children as their fast movements and yelling or screaming would scare her.

Our must haves for Starla are:

• Fenced in yard
• Another young small dog, well socialized so she can learn from
• Someone that can be home more than not
• No apartments, highrises or condos, she’s a dachshund and will bark and needs that fenced yard

If you meet our requirements then please apply. For being a breeder dog she is very friendly. Don’t let this one slip thru your fingers.

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