Frankie's owner passed away and the family could not keep him so they reached out to us to help him find a new home. That won't be a problem because Frankie is a great boy. He's long and lean just how a dachshund should be but he should not be encouraged to jump up and down off furniture. Frankie is handsome and any family would be lucky to have him.
he lives to go on walks so much that he dances at the front door until you take him out. It's hysterical to see a dog that long wag his tail that hard!!!!!! Frankie is a love bug. He gets along with all dogs, loves to play but really loves to be outside in the fenced in yard.
Frankie has been with another dog for most of his life so would do better with another dog to keep him company while you are at work or shopping. Give this boy a chance to add new sparkle to your life!

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.
