BIO:  Bella is still waiting for you to adopt her, what are you waiting for? This little girl is a beautiful soul; once comfortable in your home, she is a dream, so affectionate!

Bella is a retired breeder dog. She has to learn to trust you so she can take a bit to warm up, but she’s enjoying a nice bed and good food so far. Look at those beautiful eyes; aren’t they gorgeous? She is fine with small male dogs and small female dogs, so if you have a male small dog or small female dog and are thinking about getting a companion for him or her, here is your chance.

Our must-haves for beautiful Bella include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone with patience who will give her the time she needs to be the pet she was meant to be
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos
• Preferably someone who is home more often than not

If you meet all these requirements, please fill out our online adoption application. Remember, she has to fit into your lifestyle because we want what is best for her.

============== 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. 

There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. 

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.
