It took him a moment to adjust, but he’s doing fine and getting along with the other fosters (male and female). He would love a home with another Dachshund, male or female, he is not picky. He’s more of a couch-potato than an active boy so if you have a laid-back Dachshund, he’d fit right in. He LOVES the sunshine, and we will catch him outside just lying in the sun soaking it up, but with his coloring and thin hair due to the recessive gene, you should monitor him outside so he does not get sunburned. Also, he is allergic to chicken, so we have him on a salmon-based food, and his skin is looking so much better. We also have him on Melatonin for hair growth. Our must-haves for adorable Alec include: A fenced yard Another small, adult dog, male or female Someone who could be home a good share of the time No apartments, high-rises, condos, or duplexes If you think you can give Alec the home he needs and deserves, please reach out. Here is a link to information about the blue and tan recessive gene. https://vgl.ucdavis.edu/test/dilute-dog ============== 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. 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.
