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.

Story
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. Sineed 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. Pleae complete the adoption (or foster) application here: https://www.russellrescuetn.com/application-for-adoption/You will be contacted if further information is needed.  We are 100% volunteer powered. Volunteers process the applications and need time above their personal needs and full-time jobs to process the apps.Please have patience. We do not have any paid staff members. Our adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies, HW check, and microchip. Russell Rescue dogs are fostered in the Middle Tennessee area.

He is timid from not being socialized but he has warmed up and is doing very well.  At first, Peanut was scared but has slowly come out of his shell.   We have male and female fosters in our home and he gets along with them all.  However, no cats or big dogs, please. He is also doing very well with his foster people (male and female). We are looking for someone who has the patience to help Peanut become the pet he was meant to be.  If you do, then you will have the best boy who is so cute and loving.  Our must haves for Peanut are: Fenced in yard Another small, young, well socialized dog to help him feel comfortable in your home Someone who can be home more than not No apartments, high rises, or condos Think about it. If you have the time and patience, then this is the boy for you.  He will repay it 100 times over in loyalty.   ============== 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.

When he came to us it took him several days to eat, get comfortable, and wag his tail when we would come home or into the room.  Now that he has been with us for a while, he "growl talks" to us with his tail wagging.  (How cool is that?)  He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home and will play some but he is more interested in his foster mom or dad giving him attention. Our must haves for Ollie are: A fenced in yard He can be an only dog, but the new owners must have someone that is home more often than not No cats or big dogs He can have another small, young dog for when he wants to play No apartment, condos, or high rises If you see the possibility of him being your best friend then take a chance, you will not be sorry.  He really is a joy to have as a foster.  ============== 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.
