BIO:  Lily came from MS when sadly her owners had to give her up because she and the other females in the home did not get along. For that reason we will not adopt her to someone that has another female dog but male dogs are ok. Lily is so very sweet and wants nothing but to love you and follow you around.  She would be great as an only dog as long as you are a stay at home person. She is on the heavy side and the adopter will have to be committed to help her get down a couple dress sizes. Can you do that? We’ll send her with some SD Metabolic food for her weight lose program.

Our must haves for Lily are:

• Fenced in yard she loves to chase the squirrels or rabbits
• Somoeone home a lot or newly retired and active to help her lose that weight and keep it off
• If you can’t be home then another adult male dog to keep her company when you are not home
• Not apartments, high rises or condos

If you meet these requirements and would like Lily to join your home please fill out our online adoption application, she’s 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.
