BIO: Dixie came to us after her owner went into a nursing home, and the rest of the family did not want her because she is blind. She came to us overweight and with infected feet. We have cleared up her infected feet, and she has started to lose weight. She was also limping, so we have given her a Libela shot for her Arthritis, and she will need that monthly. At some point we feel the owner took good care of her because she only lost one tooth at her dental with us.
Dixie is a sweet girl overall but can be a bit grumpy when you want her to do something she does not want to do. That is when we put a slip leash on her and she knows she must do what we ask. All in all, Dixie is an easy dog; she sleeps, goes out to potty, comes back in, curls up in a doggie bed, and goes back to sleep. The only time she really gets excited is when she can smell her food being prepared. We will send her with a slow-feed bowl to help her slow down and enjoy her food.
Her foster mom will be happy to answer any questions you may have about Dixie; just email her at aadrpresident@gmail.com. She is a sweet girl and deserves a last wonderful forever home... please help her find that!
============== 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.
