BIO:
  
Joshua retired from his life as a breeder and was turned over to rescue so he could start a new life as a companion dog.  He was well cared for and is very good natured.  He is a little timid at first, but once he gets to know you is very friendly.  Josh quickly learned how to walk on a leash and loves going for walks.  He has also mastered the 3 steps to the front door, but any more than that and he wants to be carried.  He loves to be outside and explore, so he will need a fenced yard for his adventures.  He sleeps quietly in his crate all night and is ready to go out in the morning.  Josh knows his name and comes running when he is called.  

Joshua is used to being around other dogs, so would be happiest with a dog buddy or two.  He was introduced to a couple of cats and ignored them, so would probably be okay with a friendly cat in the house.  Josh is fine with children as long as they treat him kindly. 

If you would like to add a handsome young fellow to your family, Joshua is your guy!

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.
