BIO: Ruby came out of Louisiana and was taken in by a Good Samaritan when her owner was keeping her on a chain outside. The Good Samaritan contacted us to see if we would take her into our program and we said yes, in order to find her a better home.

Ruby is FAST and when she knows you, she will warm up quickly. She wants to play with you and is so excited that you are her friend. Sadly, she was not taught any manners so whoever adopts her must keep her socialized with strangers and have another small, young dog for a playmate. She is ALL puppy and loves to play. You will also need to teach her some obedience because again she was kept mostly on that chain and no training.

Because she is so sweet we are looking for a special home for her so you must meet our requirements:
- A fenced in yard
- A young small dog to play with no medium or large dogs
- Someone that is home more than not to teach her manners and have patience with her and help her work on her housebreaking skills
-Because she does like to bark, no apartments, high rises, condos or duplexs

If you meet these requirements and others please feel free to fill out our online adoption application.

============== 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.
