BIO:  Both Oakley and Cooper came from North Carolina, surrendered by their previous owner who was unable to care for them due to having to care for her granddaughter with Autism.

They both came in overweight, and we have Cooper almost down to the weight he should be, but Oakley needs to lose about 3 more pounds. They love to play with each other and sleep together, so they are bonded, and we want to see them adopted together. They get along with other dogs and even cats if the cats don’t run.

Our must-haves for this adorable pair include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone home quite a bit
• Someone who will continue to work on getting their weights under control
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos, as they do like to bark at strange noises

If you meet the needs of these two, then apply. You’ll have a ready-made family, and they are friendly and love people. Cooper is the shier of the two, but he draws off Oakley’s energy. They are a great pair! 

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