Story
Hallie had spent her entire life confined so when she first arrived in her foster home, she was in awe that so much space existed in the world. She explored the house and fenced yard in wide-eyed amazement. She got the zoomies on day one and has continued those every day. Hallie came into rescue as a young mother with three puppies. She was a loving and nurturing mother to her pups. She quickly warmed up to foster mom. She learned that being petted by her foster mom was a wonderful thing and now wants lots of attention and is a great snuggler. She loves sweet talk and belly rubs! Hallie loves being able to sleep in the big bed curled up against foster mom and loves soft beds and blankets. Her foster brother taught her and her puppies how to play with toys. Hallie learned how fun toys can be and it has been a joy to watch her face light up while running around and playing, especially given her prior life of confinement. She learned how to use the doggie doors from watching her foster brother. She eats well, shows no food aggression, and especially loves the routine of bedtime cookies and sits well to gently take treats. Hallie was scared of foster dad. She had never been around men before. She has warmed up some and takes treats from his hand, gets excited when he comes home, but still doesn’t want him to pet her. She is guarded around new people, especially men. She has shown no aggression, her response is to shy away and will bark at men from a distance. Now that her pups are raised, it is time for Hallie to be the center of attention and begin her next chapter! Hallie is still a work in progress! She has come a long way and has so much potential. She will blossom with an owner who is willing to work with her on gaining confidence around new people and her fear of confinement. She would greatly benefit from working with a trainer especially in a board and train program. She is incredibly smart, she just needs the confidence that obedience training would provide. With lots of love and continued training, her best life is yet to come!

SHE HAS A FEW TRICKS UP HER SLEEVE... AND ESCAPING IS ONE OF THEM. Knoxville, TN Apply at RecycledBestFriends.org If youve ever wanted a dog who would choose you over just about anything else in the world, meet Trick. But first, a fair warning. This girl is a certified Houdini. A fence climber, gap finder, weakness detector, and escape artist extraordinaire. If there is a flaw in your fencing plan, Trick will likely discover it before you do. Not because she wants to run away from you... Because she wants to find you. Trick came to rescue from the heartbreaking 92-dog hoarding case in late 2025. She spent her early years living in a crowded trailer where most of the dogs were relatedoffspring of offspring of offspring. Privacy didnt exist. Personal space didnt exist. Normal dog life didnt exist. And Trick has absolutely no desire to go back to that kind of chaos. She would very much prefer to be your one and only dog, thank you very much. No apologies. No negotiations. No excuses. Shes earned the right to be a little particular. At about 4 years old and 16 pounds, Trick is a long, low brindle beauty. Chihuahua? Terrier? Dachshund? Something else entirely? See DNA of one of the pups from the same hoarding situation. WOW Shes what we lovingly call a Bitsa Dog. Bits a this. Bits a that. All adorable. Trick tends to bond strongly with women and may need a little time to warm up to men. After years of living with a single female owner, deeper voices, larger frames, and unfamiliar mannerisms can feel overwhelming at first. Patience goes a long way with this girl. What Trick is really searching for is connection. Not a casual roommate. Not someone who wants a dog that entertains itself. A partner. A confidante. A constant companion. She wants to know where you are. What youre doing. Whether youre sitting down so she can join you. She wants to love her person with her entire heart. In return, Trick needs someone willing to help her navigate the world she never got to experience. Someone who can gently show her that not every new sound, person, or situation is something to fear. Someone who will protect her when she needs it. And encourage her when she doesnt. One very important requirement: Your yard needs to be Fort Knox, Alcatraz, and a maximum-security prison all rolled into one. Or plan on leash walks every time. Because Trick is clever, determined, and surprisingly athletic when motivated. And her greatest motivation is finding her human. After surviving a life with 92 dogs, we think shes earned the chance to be somebodys whole world. Maybe yours. Knoxville, TN Applications and adoption information: RecycledBestFriends.org Please share Trick. The right person isnt looking for a perfect dogtheyre looking for their dog. And we think Trick has been waiting a long time for that person.

She has not been well socialized therefore whomever adopts her must have the patience to bring her out of her shell. She may never be comfortable around strangers but after she gets comfortable in your home that is something that the adopter must work on. Once in your arms she is a real sweetheart. She would be great to snuggle up on the couch together and watch a movie or just to cuddle. Understand again she will need YOU to teach her how to be a pet and not afraid of the unknown. Are you up to the challenge? We know this sounds all negative but she truly is a sweet girl and does great with other dogs her size. No big dogs please, they would scare her. Our must haves for her are: • A fenced in yard • Another adult, small well socialized dog for her to learn from • Someone that can be home more than not and most importantly be patient and show her there is nothing to be afraid of and help her to be a friendly pet • Sorry no apartments, high rises or condos because dachshunds do bark If you feel this is a task you are willing to under take then please go to our website and fill out our online adoption application, today. ============== 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 cannot 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. Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form. 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.

If you are looking for a professional true crime watcher and lap sitter look no further! Since you’re reading this, you’re obviously looking for a new best friend and, hey, so am I! My name is Buddy, and I am an adorable, incredibly affectionate Dachshund who is also a very young 7-ish years old. I would describe myself as medium sized however my current foster Mom thinks I’m a little chonky. I DO love snacks and am very food motivated. She has said that I am very handsome, stunning with loving eyes and love kissing her and giving her all the affection and kisses. I DO enjoy baths and love the attention that I receive on spa days! I have a unique personality, and nothing makes me happier than seeing someone reach for a leash and or lead to take me outside for a walk or just to play and roll in the grass. I am still working on my leash manners and I foresee in time, being able to be more patient and allow you to keep up with me. I have enjoyed roaming in the fenced in yard and smelling the roses, literally. I am happy to load up into the vehicle and go for rides. I love looking out the windows and sight seeing!During the day, while my foster folks are at work, I am happy to lay around my open crate in the same room with my foster sister while we wait for them to come home. I am learning to not jump when we get company or someone comes over due to my excitement and will, with patience, learn to be calmer. I slept in the crate at night a couple of times, but my foster mom got lonely, so I got in bed with her and my foster sister (she is 70 pounds! Talk about chonky!).I do seem to get along well with other dogs and recently went for a nail trim and there were several dogs there to meet and greet, and we all seemed to like each other and get along. The groomer and I bonded instantly, and I do make friends quickly. I am interested in the cat here, where I stay, but she doesn’t like me…you know how uppity some cats can be. I think my ideal human(s) would be either a quiet older person or a retired couple who could devote their time to me. I bond strongly with my special person and am looking for someone who can be home with me, and we can solve true crime shows together. I don’t care for sudden movements or loud noises and will be discerning about new people, so I don’t think that I would like to be around small children. I think that small people and their energy may be overwhelming to me, but I hear that’s typical for pups like me. I am a very smart boy who prefers routine and will alert (bark) when I want to go outside to potty or just get out of the house, of course I know that a treat is coming when I’ve been a “good boy”. So, what do you say? Wanna give it a try? I really need a bestie and someone to watch TV with. Please reach out soon!FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
