Jefferson was turned in to an Alabama animal shelter by his owners who said he was “stubborn and hard to train”.  We guess that his previous owners didn’t understand, or bother to learn about typical dachshund behaviors and personalities! He will be neutered, which will certainly help with housetraining, and be available for adoption about the first week in February. He’s a handsome young man that only weighs 11 pounds and is friendly and has a generally happy attitude.  We will be updating Jefferson’s personality profile as we learn more about this handsome boy and his personality. We suspect he just needs some TLC and some consistency with training, and he’ll be a perfect gentleman in short order!

Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.

If shipping by volunteers through our organization or paid transporter, then there will be an additional $25 fee for the Health Certificate required. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  Please Read Before You Adopt to learn more about transportation options.  If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and Fill Out an Application.

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.

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 mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
