BIO: Snickers is a retired breeder dog and would do well in a home that has experience with breeder dogs. She is very friendly and doesn’t seem to be afraid of strangers. It would also be helpful if there is another small social dog for her to learn from. All in all, if you are new to breeder surrenders then she would be a good one to learn from but when it comes to housebreaking, you’ll need patience and maybe a doggie door?
Our must haves for Ms. Snickers are:
• Fenced in yard
• Another small social dog for her to learn from
• Someone that has patience to work with her and is home more than not
• Please no apartments, high rises or condos, Dachshunds bark
If you feel you fit the bill and want to give Snickers a great forever home then let us know and fill out our on line adoption application. We do help with transport if you are out of state.


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