Max is still looking for his forever home.  He does have some resource guarding issues with other dogs over toys and food.  Thus, he will do best as an ONLY dog.  True to his dachshund personality, he tends to chase smaller animals, such as cats.  Because of this, Max needs to go as the only pet to be his happiest and most stress-free.  Max has shown no resource guarding or aggression towards humans, but he is typically fed in a kennel and left alone during feeding time.  It would be best for Max to go to a home with older children or no children for this reason. Max doesn't like going potty on a leash or tie-out cable, so he would do best in a home with a fenced yard.  He does the most adorable zoomies, especially at night!  He loves playing fetch with his tennis balls too. Max is a confident dog who bonds strongly with his people.  He's such a little character, and whoever adopts this boy will be one lucky person.  Max is quiet; in fact, the only time he'll bark is when strangers walk by the house.  He's kennel trained and is quiet in the kennel all the time. He knows how to sit and is working on some other basic commands.  He doesn't pull hard on the leash.  He is so affectionate with his person.  He would love to snuggle all day and have occasional potty breaks and occasional playtime.  He's truly low maintenance!  He's looking for a simple life as a companion dog.  This dog would do wonders for someone who wants to feel loved and needed.  Max expresses his love in an obvious way! ============== 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.  We can 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.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime.

Story
At a perfect 23lbs, Max has a lot of personality stuffed into this little weiner-dog body! Max would bond strongly with a small family that has a structured and consistent home life. He adores children, but needs a family that has older children that can understand Max's cues. He is also happy with an adult only home too! Max is a perfectly balanced dog that knows exactly what he wants out of life. He enjoys snuggling up on the couch with snacks and a movie, he enjoys relaxing walks in the park, he enjoys chasing a tennis ball in the yard (followed by the most adorable zoomies), he enjoys rainy days inside where he can be snuggled up right next to you. Max would do best as the only pet in the home, he just cant help but want all your attention to himself! This is perfect for someone who wants a low maintenance companion. At just 2 years old, Max is still young but well past the puppy stage! Max is now just patiently waiting for the right person to give him a chance!

Story
  This adorable Wire-haired Dachshund is 5 years old and has the cutest whiskers and eyebrows ever going.  He is a calm and easy going 24 pounds boy that could stand to go on a reasonable diet and lots of daily walks during the week to slim down to a great weight for his long Dachshund body.  This boy is named Grins and he just lost his home because his senior mom entered a nursing home on Wednesday 5/27.  All that he needs in life right now is a new family/owner who will love getting up every morning to see his sweet happy face and to take him several times a day on a good walking/exercise program to trim down his extra pounds and get him to a good 20 pound body weight.  Less pounds means more good life for a Dachshund and Grins is at his prime time to change his food intake to higher quality.  He really needs to get out and see the world from the end of a leash!   His former mom has been bedridden for over 3 years and he has not been taken on walks in all the time. Now Critter Cavalry Rescue is taking him in to their foster program.  Grins might do best as the only dog in his new home.  He has a tendency to be bossy with other dogs sometimes.  It could be managed if he has a strong owner who knows how to be the boss in the house and not let Grins run the show.  He is in a foster now that has cats and he does great with them!.He is housebroken and knows what a pee pad is just in case you need that extra time away.  He is crate trained and does so well on a leash too!   Snickers is resilient, happy to go wherever  you take him and is adjusting to all the new sights, sounds and people in his life.  We would love a Dachshund lover who is experienced with the breed to give Grins a soft bed and a big heart filled with love as his next forever place.  If you are interested, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com    When inquiring please tell us where you live!!!        ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
  This handsome Dachshund 5 year old boy with the Ultra-Brite Smile is called Snickers and he just lost his home because his senior mom entered a nursing home on Wednesday 5/27.  All that Snickers needs in life right now is a new family/owner who will love getting up every morning to see his sweet happy face and to take him several times a day on a good walking/exercise program to trim down his round little 30 pound body..   Less pounds is more good life for a Dachshund and Snickers is at his prime time to change his food intake to higher quality and to get out and see the world from the end of a leash!   His former mom has been bedridden for over 3 years and he has not been taken on walks in all the time. Now Critter Cavalry Rescue is taking him in to their foster program and he is around other dogs, children who love him to pieces and a foster dad who walks him 3 times a day.  This boy will be the Tarzan of dog with a sleep and active body in no time.  He is housebroken and knows what a pee pad is just in case you need that extra time away.  He is crate trained and does so well on a leash too!   Snickers is resilient, happy to go wherever  you take him and is adjusting to all the new sights, sounds and people in his life.  He is curious about cats but won't chase.  He could be the only dog or live easily with another. We would love a Dachshund lover who is experienced with the breed to give Snickers a soft bed and a big heart filled with love as his next forever place to land.  If you are interested, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com    When inquiring please tell us where you live!!!      ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
