From Rusty
Hi, my name is Rusty and my foster mommy calls me her big lover. I am not afraid to meet new people I will just walk right up to you and say hi. I love to snuggle in the Big Bed. I am a very calm boy who is happy just to lay around and just be near you. If you would like to adopt me you would also have to adopt my “sister” Honey or have another female dachshund because her and I are very pals. My right back leg bows out when I stand on it but my foster mommy took me to the vet and had it x rayed and the vet said that it is fine and it is either congenital or from an old injury that wasn’t fixed and it just healed funny. If you are looking for sweet and calm lap dog than I'm the one for you.
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. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids

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.
