BIO:  Sophie came to us from Eastern Tennessee when her owner passed away and she was taken to the humane shelter. She does have a skin issue that we are clearing up but other than that she’s a great girl with a lot of love to give!

Our must haves for this darling girl include:

• A fenced yard
• Can be an only dog since she wants all the attention
• Someone who is home a lot as her previous owner was
• Continuing to work with her on her skin issues and maintaining her healthy weight
• No apartment or high rises
• Someone that LOVES to cuddle

This little girl doesn’t really understand what has happened and she’s so very sweet! If you are looking for a soon to be senior, then please consider her as she’ll give you all the love and devotion she has!

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.

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.  If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $55 fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

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 an 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.

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.
