He was adopted out as a puppy along with his sister in 2012 here in TN scroll forward 14 yrs. The rescue got contacted that he was found in a home with his deceased owner and his sister. They did not know how long they had been deceased. Only Otto and the cat made it out alive. We were contacted due to the chip and we found out that the adopter that we adopted to gave our dogs away without contracting us. BUT we got Otto back and this won’t happen again. Otto is the sweet, calmest old guy you’d ever want to meet. He looks at you with his big cow eyes and you have to wonder why anyone would want to give him away! Oh, by the way his mom was a Dachshund and his daddy was a Chihuahua so he’s a Chiweenie. We want to believe that there is someone out there that will give him his last furever home. This boy is no trouble and just wants to follow you around the house and yard. He truly is a gem. Our must haves for him are: A fenced in yard Preferably another senior small dog since he lived with on oh and a cat would be fine too Please no apartments, condos or high rises Otto sadly lost all of his teeth except one canine due to no dental care but other than that his blood work is great and he’s in great shape except for the need to lose about 3 more lbs. Please give him that last home, he really deserves a great last home.     ============== 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.

Cooper is used to having someone around the home most of the time and will bark when he hears you come home or for a bit when you leave but he settles down after a few minutes. Cooper has one favorite toy that he likes here in foster care and that will go with him to his forever home, will that be yours. Don’t let his age scare you he is in good health and only lost one tooth at his dental recently. He doesn’t seem to mind the other fosters but doesn’t really interact with them either so he could be an only dog. Cooper does like to follow you around the house or yard just to make sure all is good with you. So, if you are looking for a bodyguard, he is your man. He’d love for you to apply right away so he can move on. Our must haves for Cooper are: A fenced in yard he loves the outside to roam Someone to be home more than not Maybe a senior buddy too No apartments, high rises or condos     ============== 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.

He was pretty depressed when he first came in but is slowly accepting the fact that this is his home until another approved one comes along. Ollie gets along with other dogs but we think he could also be an only dog if the new owner is a stay at home or works from home. We are pretty sure cats are a no! He will bark when new people come into the home but we are working on that but once they are in and settled, he’s ok. He makes a good watch dog! As always when you adopt a rescue dog the key is patience. Ollie deserves to a last forever home, can that be you? Our must haves for Ollie are: Fenced in yard Someone home more than not Another adult to senior dog small not big Sorry no apartments, condos, high rises and he does like to alert you to strangers knocking at the door If you are interested in adopting Ollie or knowing more about him you can email aadrpresident@gmail.com. I’m happy to answer any question and tell you all about him so you make the right choice for your family because we don’t want to see him returned again.     ============== 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.

She came from rural TN and was bred every time she came into season but lucky for her a Good Samaritan saw her plight and stepped in to take her. The Good Samaritan was driven to save her but could not keep her so she reached out to us for help. This little girl is all sunshine and roses and she SMILES! If you talk sweetly to her, she’ll give you her sweet smile. You can see it in one of the pictures we took of her. She didn’t know how to play but she is learning and would be fine with another male or female around her age that is socialized. She craves attention because she never had any and she loves it. Sadly, she came to us with Heartworms so she will go through treatment for those and will not be available until the 28th of Nov. Just in time for the holidays.  But don’t let the HW’s scare you. She is light HW positive but she’ll be clear of them when she goes to her forever home. This will give you plenty of time to plan for her and shop for her for the holiday. Our must haves for her are: A fenced in yard Another brother or sister to learn to play with, young and small no big dogs Someone that can be home more than not Please not apartments, high rises or condo If you want years of devotions then you can’t go wrong with this little girl. Apply, get approved and we’ll keep you posted on how she is doing with treatment and if you are close enough you can come and visit her when approved.     ============== 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.
