Story
Meet Miley! Miley is a sweet and adorable 4-year-old Dachshund mix with a gentle heart and a loving personality. She absolutely adores people and gets along well with other dogs. She’s still learning what it means to be part of a fully loving family, so she’ll do best with patient humans who are willing to help her build confidence and show her how good life can be. Miley does wonderfully in a crate — she’s quiet and sleeps comfortably as long as her people are nearby. When left alone, she may bark a bit, but she’s making progress as she settles in. She’s also working on potty training and truly trying her best. She’s gentle with both people and dogs, but don’t be fooled — Miley loves to have fun! She enjoys walks and does great on leash. She does have a prey drive, so a home without cats (or with very cat-savvy owners) would be best. Miley is a loving, playful girl who just needs the right family to help her continue to blossom. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, she’s sure to thrive.

It was a tough decision but one that had to be done. Gemma is as sweet as they come and very friendly. She LOVES attention and will follow you where ever you go in the house and yard. She gets along great with other dogs male and female but please no big dogs because as little as she is and never having been around a big dog they would scare her too much. We are also saying no to cats mainly because she’s never been around on and we have no way of properly testing her with a cat. 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 that have another young, small dog to keep her company while you have to be out of the home. Our must haves for Gemma are: • Fenced in yard • Someone that can be home more 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. 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. 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.

Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs! To sponsor my trip to WI, go to  www.tailwaggers911.com  for more info! ***I am able to go home to my forever family right off of transport! You get a 5 day trial with me in your home. Put in your application soon!***   Please help me get out! I am currently in a place where there are lots of unwanted dogs and not all of us here get the chance I might have to leave! But in order to help me out of here to catch the ride to WI on MARCH 13th and arrive on MARCH 14th, I need *both* a sponsor, and a WI foster home *or* a WI adopter! I have a place for now, but I can't stay here forever and I am worried. The rescue has put a hold on me to save my spot on the trip up north to WI, but now they need YOUR help to get me there - don't wait!!!   Updated: 2/19/2026 Dog Name: Duckie Sex: Male Estimated Breed: Dachshund/ Long Hair Chihuahua Mix Approximate Age: 1 year Approximate Weight: 17 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Neutered Description: Duckie was an urgent medical case in Texas. Our rescue partners were contacted and knew right away he needed medical attention. This poor boy had a wire wrapped around his toes for a week!! He was rushed to the animal hospital where he had to have 2 toes amputated to save his foot from infection. But this hasn’t slowed down our sweet Duckie! He is happy and learning to be in a home where he is safe and loved! He does not miss his toes on his back foot, the vet said he will do just fine without them:) Duckie is great with other dogs, kids, and cats! Plus, he is already housetrained! He is a sweet boy who will gaze into your eyes and cuddle all day on the couch with you! Adoption Fee: $650We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians. Our Weight Classes are as follows: 0- 25lbs - Small 26- 45lbs - Medium 46-89 - Large 90+ X-large If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped. If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days. Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home. If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home. If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out. February 23, 2026, 11:41 pm

Meet Cholula 🌶️All the flavor. None of the burn.Cholula is the kind of dog who makes you feel instantly loved. She doesn’t just hang out with her people — she commits. Hugs are welcome, lap naps are encouraged, and sleeping pressed up next to you is her preferred arrangement.At just 10 months old, this sweet Dachshund mix has already figured out the good stuff: playing with other dogs, running around the yard, curling up for naps, and being right where her people are. She’s affectionate without being overwhelming, playful without being chaotic, and has the happiest little personality.She’s been doing great with potty training, walks comfortably on leash, rides nicely in the car, and kennels quietly when needed. Cholula is eager to please, polite around food, and truly just wants to be part of a family.Spicy name aside, she’s pure love.Adoption Details:• Approx. 10 months old | ~15 lbs | Dachshund mix• Adoption fee: $500• Located in Kenosha, WI• She will be spayed prior to adoptionApply to adopt at www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550
