BIO: This handsome guy is Max, a two-year-old doxie mix that was found as a stray with another dog in East Tennessee. Of course, they were scared at first and were slow to trust, likely due to a history of abuse and neglect. Both boys were fully vetted and the other pup has been adopted.
Max is still looking for his forever home. He does have some resource guarding issues with other dogs over toys and food. Thus, he will do best as an ONLY dog. True to his dachshund personality, he tends to chase smaller animals, such as cats. Because of this, Max needs to go as the only pet to be his happiest and most stress-free. Max has shown no resource guarding or aggression towards humans, but he is typically fed in a kennel and left alone during feeding time. It would be best for Max to go to a home with older children or no children for this reason.
Max doesn't like going potty on a leash or tie-out cable, so he would do best in a home with a fenced yard. He does the most adorable zoomies, especially at night! He loves playing fetch with his tennis balls too.
Max is a confident dog who bonds strongly with his people. He's such a little character, and whoever adopts this boy will be one lucky person. Max is quiet; in fact, the only time he'll bark is when strangers walk by the house. He's kennel trained and is quiet in the kennel all the time. He knows how to sit and is working on some other basic commands. He doesn't pull hard on the leash. He is so affectionate with his person. He would love to snuggle all day and have occasional potty breaks and occasional playtime. He's truly low maintenance! He's looking for a simple life as a companion dog. This dog would do wonders for someone who wants to feel loved and needed. Max expresses his love in an obvious way!
MUST HAVES for Max
- Needs to be the only pet
- Older children or a no children household
- Must have a fenced yard / pen for potty breaks
============== 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 dachshunds back or get bitten.

We can not 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.
