BIO: STILL WAITING FOR THAT ONE PERSON THAT WILL GIVE THEM A CHANCE!!
What they need is love, patience, and time to trust you. Please, won't you give them that chance?
Both Bell and Obie came to the rescue from severely abusive situations. This is hard to imagine, given Bell’s sweet nature and incomprehensible, given Obie’s blindness. Together, after reaching rescue, they have found comfort in one another. When Obie arrived, he had no clue how to play. Bell found this unacceptable and has taught her friend to trust, play, and enjoy life once again. They now run through the house or play in the yard together. It took a while as they, both Bell and Obie, had to wrestle with their internal demons, but through the process, they bonded, and separating them is not an option for us. They have been in rescue for months waiting for the right home to come along, but we know there is that perfect home for these two where they can be together.
Bell will need time to trust her new owners, and Obie will need time to get familiar with the layout of the home and yard. However, this little team will do it. They sleep in the primary bedroom at night together in a doggie bed, never asking to come up on the big bed. When we must leave, they go into their own crates, which are located side by side.
We know this adoption will take a special person with a big heart, but they are a true “rescue story.” Are you up to this incredibly rewarding challenge?
Our must-haves for this dynamic duo include:
A fenced yard
Someone who is home a lot or works from home
A truly patient person or family (no small children)
Not a first-time owner; must be an experienced dachshund owner
No apartments, condos, duplexes, or high-rises
============== 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.

All dogs are spayed/neutered/UTD on all shots/heartworm checked and treated if necessary and dental if necessary.
You do have to fill out an online adoption application at www.allamericandachshundrescue.org and we will do a phone interview, check your references and vet and we WILL DO a homevisit no matter what state you are in. To adopt a dachshund you must either have a fenced in yard. These are hunters and if you allow them to run free they will NOT come back or will be hit by a car or attacked by another dog. When you adopt the dog you are giving a two week trail period and if you feel you need more time we are happy to give that to you if you will notify us. We also make you sign a contract that is a legal and binding contract. Once you put in a application to adopt one of our fosters we will try to get back to you as soon as possible. If you have not heard from us in a week please e mail us as your app may have gotten lost. We also have the right to refuse to adopt to anyone that we feel would not make a good home for our Dachshunds. Please remember these dogs have been in at least 2-3 homes possible more and it could take the whole two weeks for them to adjust and possibly longer.

More about this rescue
We are a non-profit organization that rescues dachshunds from shelters, owner surrenders and fully vets them including dental and heartworm treated if needed and all health issues addressed before they are put on the website to be adopted. We do this due to the fact that there are so many Dachshunds out there that are bred and brought by people that don't know the breed and after they get the dog home and find out after a couple of months that they can't housebreak the dog and it's not good with their kids, they dump the dog in the shelters or if we are lucky they contacts us. Some Dachshund are not so lucky and get shifted to several homes or are sold to puppymills that bred them into the groud.
