BIO: 
Princess came from Oklahoma when her owner could no longer care for her due to health issues. She is a timid girl at first, but once she warms up to you, she is a sweet little girl who loves belly and back rubs. She does well on a regular potty schedule or uses puppy pads if you must be gone for short periods. Princess would love it if you were newly retired or if you could work from home.

We think she would be fine as an only dog because she loves attention, but also plays with the two-year-old foster in the home. 

If you think you want a dachshund that will follow you all over, then she just might be the pup for you!

Our must-haves for little Princess include:
  - Someone who is home more often than not or newly retired
  - A fenced yard since she likes being outside as long as it’s not too cold, and if it is, then she expects you to have a sweater or coat on her
   - She can be an only dog or with another dog, a small adult dog is best, no big dogs. 
  

Don’t miss out on this sweetie! You just have to have patience at first until she gets to know you. At first, she is very timid, but if you give her space, she'll come around and want to be loved on. She needs walks. Princess is overweight, and that makes her look really fat, but it's only a pound. We'll send the right food to help her lose that weight.


 ============== 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.

Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form.

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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Go meet their pets

All of our dogs are in foster homes in TN, AL, NY, VA, PA, NC, SC, FL, MI and WI They can not be seen at any one place but all foster homes are happy to send you additional pictures or answer any questions you may have in regards to their fosters. We do not have any regular place that we go to to show off our dogs but if you are close to the foster home we will be glad to meet you somewhere to show you a or any dogs that you may be interested in once you fill out our online adoption application listed on our website.

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.
