Gracie is an older lady and just wants to find a home where she can spend the last of her golden years.  She is very friendly, loving, and the sweetest little girl.  She gets along great with her foster sisters.  Gracie does not like sharing her doggie bed and will growl if another dog tries to get in bed with her.  She loves to eat but unfortunately, she lost 17 teeth when she had her dental and is still on softened food. Gracie loves spending her days sleeping.  She would do great as an only dog and would love it if you were retired where you would be at home with her all day. Gracie loves cuddling on the couch with her person under her blanket. She would love to sleep in the big bed. Our must haves for sweet Gracie: A fenced yard since she loves walking around and smelling the ground. Someone who is at home all the time Apartment or Condo would be okay. ============= 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.

Giselle was very timid and frightened.  For the longest time she would not pull herself away from the wall she was leaning against.  However, soon she was coming to the front of her pen to get her daily treats.  Then it wasn't long before she wanted to be out with the other dogs but would not let us touch her.  Everything was a slow process of gaining her trust and she was not a happy girl.  But now her tail wags and she is happy to see us, get her food, and be out to run with the other fosters. We know this will tug at everyone’s heart strings but unless you are committed to helping her become the wonderful pet she can be, do not rush to apply.  Seeing her take her baby steps in becoming a normal pup is a blessing in itself. Our must have for this beautiful little lady are: A fenced in yard Another adult, small, well socialized dog for her to continue to learn from Someone that can be home more than not Someone with either unsocialized dog experience or someone that has lots of patience and a desire to help her No apartment, condos, or high rises She will stay with us until the right home comes along.  We know that loving home she deserves is out there.   ============== 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.

Dogs are gonna bark!!  She was mostly kept outside, and we are so glad the Good Samaritan stepped in and asked if she could take little Boop and find her a good home. With all this being said, this little girl has to learn to trust and will need someone with a lot of patience and love to show her that she is safe and loved. That is where you come in.  Do you have the time to show her what love is like? Boop has opened up to us here in foster care.   It took her about 5 days to learn that we meant her no harm, and we were here to love her, feed her, and keep her warm. Are you up to this challenge or have the experience with a fearful dog and want to add to your pack? Our must haves for this girl are: A fenced in yard is a must Another young, small, well-socialized dog for her to learn from Someone that can be home more than not No apartments, high rises, or condos Once Boop settles in and knows you, she will be the sweetest little girl because she will know that she has the best home.  This little one does not recognize personal space once she gets comfortable in her surroundings.  So, be ready for a loyal, life-long companion!  ============== 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.

Story
One Week with Si - Si has been with us for one whole week and oh the difference it has made! You still have to approach him slowly cause he gets a little freaked at fast movements, but he wags his tail a little when you talk to him now and he comes to you to pick him up so he can snuggle. Food is his love language. You have food, especially soft food, and you’re his bestie. He’s very much an old soul and just wants to lounge about, so no chasing balls or running laps for him.. lol. If you’re into lazy tv days, he’s your man!Day 4 - Si seems to have found the person he trusts in my 7 year old. He cuddles a lot more now too. Still skittish around people he’s not sure of or doesn’t know, but we’re getting there!Day 3 - Si has gone from wanting nothing to do with anyone to seeking attention from my oldest child and myself. I brought him to work with me today as well and he has also sought out attention from some of my coworkers. He truly is a sweet boy that just wants love and affection, but he is so unsure of everything considering his whole world was upended. He rarely tucks his tail between his legs anymore Day 2 - Si is coming more out of his shell and even gave me some kisses today  he wants so badly to be loved, he’s just anxious. I’m sure he’s going to make someone a great dog! People just need to remember the oldies need love too Day 1 - Si is a very sweet, but very timid boy. He’s kinda had a rude awakening with my loud crew  but I think he will eventually adjust. He’s already started to untuck his tail a bit and he took and nice nap with my daughter and I after a warm bath. I think he would be a great snuggler for someone once he warms up to you and realizes you’re not going to do anything bad to him. I’m hoping over the next few days he’ll come out of his shell more cause he breaks my heart when he’s all scared  he’s staying close to Marshall though and Marshall knows how to hang with the crazies, so I have no doubt si will get the hang of it. After all, the old guys gotta stick together right?  I’ll update more on his personality as I learn more!This is what a dog does when he discovers that his owners no longer want him. Poor Si has shut down. He has slept or pretending to for 3 days. Ever since he was taken to our vet. Now he sits in boarding still pretending to not notice that nice people are trying to help him feel loved again. Finally lifting his head a minute when he hears voice coming to adopt a different dog. When they leave his little head drops back down. Si needs time to recover. It will be hard iwhen he does not have a home to recover in. Please open your home to this poor soul.Available dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else. We promise our fosters that we will qualify all potential adopters before we ask them to communicate with potential adopters.The application is the first step.
