Meet Amaya, the sweetest, most lovable tripod you’ll ever meet! This beautiful black-coated retriever mix has a heart every bit as big as her adorable smile. Amaya came to us after overcoming a tough start, and one of her back legs had to be removed to give her the comfortable, pain-free life she deserves. Now healed and thriving, Amaya has fully embraced her tripod superpowers! Her three-legged strut is absolutely adorable, and she navigates the world with a happy-go-lucky spirit that inspires everyone who meets her. She loves zooming around the yard, hopping up for cuddles, and showing off just how unstoppable she truly is. Amaya is also a world-class snuggler and adores being close to her people. Whether she’s cuddled at your side, giving endless kisses, or soaking up every bit of affection she can, she’s happiest when she’s loved and she gives that love right back tenfold. Now that she’s strong, joyful, and ready for her next chapter, Amaya is looking for a family to call her own. If you’re searching for a resilient, affectionate companion with a personality as bright as her beautiful black coat, Amaya is your girl. Come meet her and fall in love with this incredible tripod sweetheart! Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Would that be you? He is a shy boy but with love and patience we know he can be the most loving little boy you have ever had but you need to have patience for him to come out of his shell and be a pet not a breeder dog. You can see the longing in his eyes when you look at him that he wants to trust but he is just not sure, give him that reassurance. He gets along with other small dogs, we do not know about big dogs so we are going to say “no” since he has never been around them. As he settles into his foster home, think about adopting him and giving him your love. We will update his bio as we learn more about him. In the mean time our must haves are: A fenced in yard Another small, adult, well socialized dog for him to learn from Someone that can be home more than not No apartment, high rises, or condos If you are wanting to adopt him then go to our website www.allamericandachshundrescue.org and fill out our online adoption application. ============== 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.
