Daffy came from a kill shelter in AR where she was dumped and terrified in there. But no wonder she’s only a little mite. But lucky for her the good Samaritan got her out and temp fostered her until we could get her.
What a sweetie she is, friendly and gets along with all the fosters and we are sure with kids as long as they understood how to treat animals as she is so little she could easily be hurt if the kids were too rough with her that’s why no kids under 6 yrs of age. She is potty trained and will go outside. We’d really like her to have a fenced in yard since she enjoys being outside when you are or the rest of the crew here.
She did how ever lose teeth when she had her dental due to poor vet care so she’ll need soft food until her gums are healed then she can go to hard food. Also she has an ear hematoma (blood filled pocket in the ear that has dried causing the ear to crinkle). There is no lasting or problems with this only that the ear ends up being shorter than the other but only adds to her cuteness!
Consider this cutie for your next newest family member.

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.
