BIO: Henry was adopted out in 2020 and through no fault of his he was returned to our rescue. Henry needs a strong pack leader and someone that will work with him as he is not fond of strangers and will voice his opinion.
With his family he is very loving and loyal and deserves a chance to have a last forever home.
Our must haves for Henry are:
• A fenced in yard
• A quiet home with few visitors
• Someone that will work with him on walks to get his weight down
• He would be fine with another small senior pet
• No apartment, high rises or condo as he will bark at outside noises
If you think you can give Henry the kind of home he needs then contact his foster mom at aadrpresident@gmail.com he will require some work but he’s very loyal and loving.


============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============
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.
If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal.
We cannot adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.
To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.
