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.

He was a breeder dump because he was cryptorchid and the breeder would not want that in a breeding dog due to the chance of him not being able to impregnate a female. A Good Samaritan got him in fear of him ending up in the wrong hands and becoming bait. He is timid from not being socialized but he has warmed up and is doing very well. At first, he was scared but has slowly come out of his shell and is also doing very well with the other fosters and his foster people (male and female). We have male and female fosters and he gets along with them all. We are going to say no big dogs or cats, please. We are looking for someone who has the patience to help Peanut to be the pet he should be. If you do, then you will have the best boy who is so cute and loving, too. Our must haves for him are: Fenced in yard Another small, young, well socialized dogs 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 and 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.

He is still learning what it is like to be a pet. This is where you come in, patience is the key to Samson’s heart. We can tell he wants hugs and kisses but he is just not sure. Remember breeder dogs are not shown attention like other puppies that go into people’s homes so he must warm to the idea of being a pet but he still has a ways to go. Can you help him? After we have had him for a bit, we realize that he really does not need a fenced yard because he really does not care to be outside especially in the cold and rain. So, you would have to be committed to walking him on a leash. If you just let him out without a leash he would run off and we don’t want that phone call, ever! Samson is not a barker so he can be in an apartment or condo, ground floor. He says he would also prefer a warmer climate than here in Tennessee! Our must haves for Samson are: • Ground floor apartment or condo • Someone home more than not • Another adult small dog for him to hang with • Someone that is patient and has breeder dog experience If you meet these requirements then make Samson’s wish come to for a home for spring. Apply online on our website, Samson says he’s waiting for YOU. ============== 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 wants people who will cuddle and have another small dog to hang around and learn from. She doesn't really know how to play with other dogs at this point, but she sure loves her toys. Just like any puppy, she is new to everything. Being blind, she needs to be trained and shown the world through your eyes and her incredible, smelling nose and floppy ears. Training with noise, such as a clicker, and using voice commands, a harness, treat rewards and positive encourangment are known to have excellent outcomes to build confidence and bonding. She'll also need to work on potting training still because she's so young. We'd love for Britta to live in a state that has nice year-round weather so she can enjoy the wonders of nature. BIO:  Britta came from right here in Middle TN.  She was given up by the breeder because of her blindness and their inability to care for her.  At first, we were not sure if she was completely blind but after taking her to VOS it was determined that she is indeed blind.  One eye is smaller than the other.  She also has a “club foot” but that does not stop her from getting around. Britta loves to be cuddled and covered up and sleeping next to you. She is puppy pad trained but will need you to work with her on house breaking.  She barks when she knows it is time to eat and she hears the rest of the fosters in the foster home start to bark for dinner or breakfast. She has never been around a cat, so she does not even know what they are. She has never been around another young small dog so has not learned to play but does play with toys, or you, so please be willing to play with her. What Britta needs is someone that can spend the time and have patience with her to show her the world. She is the sweetest little girl, but it is time she finds her own home.  She will be your heart. While we do not feel she needs a fenced in yard, it is necessary that she has you out there with her at all times. While she will not run, she will wander and that would get her in trouble so a harness and leash would be BEST. We would like her to go to the states from TN or further south because she has not been out in the cold. Yes, she is cute but think about this if you don’t have the time then she would not be a good fit for your home. Our must haves for Britta are: Someone home more than not Another young small dog for her to learn from Someone who will be patient with her and has the time to housebreak her Someone who will teach her leash walking If you have experience with blind dogs that is a plus. If you’d like more info on sweet Britta, please feel welcome to email her foster mom.  ============== 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.
