Dachshund puppies and dogs in Pulaski, Tennessee

One Week with Si - Si has been with us for one whole week and oh the difference it has made! You still have to approach him slowly cause he gets a little freaked at fast movements, but he wags his tail a little when you talk to him now and he comes to you to pick him up so he can snuggle. Food is his love language. You have food, especially soft food, and you’re his bestie. He’s very much an old soul and just wants to lounge about, so no chasing balls or running laps for him.. lol. If you’re into lazy tv days, he’s your man!Day 4 - Si seems to have found the person he trusts in my 7 year old. He cuddles a lot more now too. Still skittish around people he’s not sure of or doesn’t know, but we’re getting there!Day 3 - Si has gone from wanting nothing to do with anyone to seeking attention from my oldest child and myself. I brought him to work with me today as well and he has also sought out attention from some of my coworkers. He truly is a sweet boy that just wants love and affection, but he is so unsure of everything considering his whole world was upended. He rarely tucks his tail between his legs anymore Day 2 - Si is coming more out of his shell and even gave me some kisses today  he wants so badly to be loved, he’s just anxious. I’m sure he’s going to make someone a great dog! People just need to remember the oldies need love too Day 1 - Si is a very sweet, but very timid boy. He’s kinda had a rude awakening with my loud crew  but I think he will eventually adjust. He’s already started to untuck his tail a bit and he took and nice nap with my daughter and I after a warm bath. I think he would be a great snuggler for someone once he warms up to you and realizes you’re not going to do anything bad to him. I’m hoping over the next few days he’ll come out of his shell more cause he breaks my heart when he’s all scared  he’s staying close to Marshall though and Marshall knows how to hang with the crazies, so I have no doubt si will get the hang of it. After all, the old guys gotta stick together right?  I’ll update more on his personality as I learn more!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. Si needs 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.

Because she was a breeding dog, she was not well socialized and will need patience when meeting new people. Once she warms up to you, she’s a sweetheart! While she may be 6 years old, she has a lot of spunk and would be best with another younger adult small dog to learn to play with. The one thing that you must understand is that she doesn’t know what it’s like to be a pet, so you will need patience when adopting her. Our must-haves for beautiful Stella include: A fenced yard Someone who is home more often than not Another younger, small, well-socialized dog for her to play with and learn from No apartment, high-rises, or condos, please If you have the experience and the patience, then you are welcome to apply for sweet little Stella.    ============== 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.

It was a tough decision, but one that had to be made. Gemma is as sweet as they come and very friendly! She LOVES attention and will follow you wherever you go in the house and yard. She gets along great with other dogs, male and female, but please no big dogs because, as small as she is and never having been around one, they would scare her too much. We are also saying no to cats, mainly because she’s never been around one, and we have no way to properly test her with one. If you are looking for a love bug, then Gemma would be the one for you, but understand she has never been an only dog, so we’ll only consider people who have another young, small dog to keep her company while you are out of the home. Our must-haves for sweet little Gemma include: A fenced yard Someone who can be home more often than not Another young, small dog for her to play with and cuddle with No apartments, high-rises, or condos since she, like other Dachshunds, likes to bark If you think you can give Gemma the home she deserves, please apply online and go through the approval process.    ============== 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.

CITY, STATE:  Shelbyville, TN NAME:  Britta AGE:  5 mos.

Britta 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 sense of smell and floppy ears. Training with noise, such as a clicker, and using voice commands, a harness, treat rewards, and positive encouragement are known to lead to excellent outcomes in building 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 Tennessee. 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, sleeping next to you. She is puppy pad trained, but will need you to work with her on housebreaking. She barks when she knows it is time to eat by hearing 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 small young dog, so she has not learned to play, but she does play with toys or with people, so please be willing to play with her. What Britta needs is someone who can spend time with her and have patience 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 yard, it is necessary that you be 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 Tennessee 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 precious Britta include: Someone who is home more often 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.

He had belonged to an elderly person who allowed him to run the household. In doing so, he picked up some bad habits. With our help, he has developed some manners, but he will need to go to an experienced dachshund owner. Luke came into rescue overweight. He has lost some weight, but he may need to lose another pound or two after he is adopted. He really is a sweet, happy boy! He loves being outside and will do zoomies in the yard in the morning. We do know that he does not like going to the vet to get his nails trimmed, and a muzzle must be used. We also know that he doesn’t care for strangers. New people coming into the home would need to be made aware of this and not just walk in. Therefore, we think a quieter home would be best for him, one with few visitors. Taking Luke out for walks and to non-stressful environments, such as PetSmart, would be great for him. If you are looking for a standard, then here is your chance. Please help Luke find his last forever home. Our must-haves for adorable Luke include: A fenced yard A quieter home He can be an only dog or with another small, adult dog Only adult children in the home, 14 years plus 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.
