BIO UPDATE (4/4/26): We have an update from Rudy’s foster dad... Rudy is doing very well. Her house training is progressing slowly but seems to be getting there over the last few days. She is walking approximately a mile a day and doing great, walking right by your side. Rudy is such a sweet, loving dog! We are enjoying having her as a foster!

Maybe this little girl is just right for you.

BIO: This one will keep you on your toes! She loves running around with toys in her mouth, especially if she can steal them from the dryer. Oh, and she’ll help you pull stuff out of the dryer, but she won’t help you fold them; that’s up to you. But she’s off with a sock or anything she can get her mouth on, and then the chase is on!

It’s hard to believe that she is a retired breeder dog as friendly as she is, but understand she will still need help with housebreaking and learning to walk on a leash. If you have the patience and want to add some spice to your life, then she would be perfect for you!

Our must-haves for adorable Rudy include:
- A fenced yard
- Someone who can be home more often than not
- Another small adult playful dog that doesn’t mind her stealing their toys
- No apartments, high-rises, or condos

If you are interested in giving Rudy her last home, it’s important that you fill out the online adoption application right away, because she won’t be available for long. We can promise you that, and she loves attention and is a bit of an attention hog.

============== 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 will 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.

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.
