BIO:  

Little Princess is a wonderful dachshund.  She is so much fun!  Princess loves to be with her human.  She will dance and hop when you first get home and wants to be picked up and loved.  Princess would love to have a home with a dog door and fenced-in backyard.  At only 10.5 pounds, Princess is on the smaller side.  She is extremely easy to handle and she listens well to commands.  Princess loves to play with soft chewy toys, but she does not like to share her toy.  Princess gets along extremely well with larger dogs, but she can have an attitude with dogs her size or smaller.  This little girl loves to sleep under the covers at her human’s feet.  She sleeps through the night and makes a great little heater.  Princess is a joy to have in your home – she is fun, loving, will make you laugh with her antics and has such a soft coat, it is easy to spend lots of time loving her.

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.
