BIO:  Ruben came from a shelter in North Carolina when he was turned in by the owner who had too many animals.  Ruben was part of a breeding pair.  Ruben:

•    Is super sweet!
•    Needs a fenced yard
•    Needs another small dog in the home to keep him company when you are not home
•    Needs continuing help with housebreaking
•    Should not live in an apartment

Ruben is such a sweet fellow who is very quiet and loves people.  He enjoys being outside where he can run around with the other fosters but he also loves lap time and will follow his person everywhere.  Ruben is super smart and learns quickly.  He does well on a schedule to take care of bathroom needs but will need continued reinforcement.  Ruben does great with female pups but it is better for him not to go to a home where there is another male dog.  When Ruben had his dental, he lost quite a few teeth and does better with eating if he has his food softened.

Ruben is a sweet, sweet pup.  And did I mention that he is so very handsome?  Well he is! 

Please consider giving Ruben his forever home!

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.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
