She is very sweet but shy and will need time to warm up. So, if you do not have the patience to give her that time then she is not the dog for you and you will have to look for another. Dogs come into rescue not because they are perfect and you adopt them because you want to make them whole but some take longer than others, is that you? She really needs to have time to know she is safe and relax and she will give you love but she wants it back too. Do not disappoint her, give her what she needs for the rest of her life. Our must haves for Pip are: • A fenced in yard • Another young, small, and well socialized dog • Someone that can be home most of the time or works from home • Please no apartments, condos or high rises Please if you are interested reach out and we will let you know all about the sweet gentle girl looking for love. ============== 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.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Genesis: Strong, Sweet, and Always Watching Out Genesis is a 110-pound brindle pitbull mix with a calm, wise soul and a heart full of quiet love. She and her brother Waffles were found beside their late owner, refusing to leave his side after he passed. Since that heartbreaking moment, Genesis has remained a steady, grounded presence—always looking out for those she loves. She’s independent and thoughtful, happy to lounge outside and watch the world go by. When she’s ready for affection, she’ll nudge you gently for pets and love. Genesis is fully potty trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and is content being home alone during the day. She doesn’t need constant attention—just a home that feels safe and a person she can trust. Genesis is used to being the “big sister”—sharing food, giving up her bed, and always checking in. Now, she’s ready for a home of her own, where she can soak up the spotlight and continue blossoming into her own. She walks well on leash, is food-motivated and trainable, and thrives in a peaceful environment. Like her brother, Genesis is selective with other dogs, so she may prefer to be your one and only pup—but with a heart like hers, she’ll be all you need. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion with quiet strength and a big heart, Genesis is ready to start her next chapter—with you.

Story
Dani is about 1.5 years old. She loves walks, treats and snuggling on the couch. She can't get enough belly rubs. She is smart and motivated to learn. She is very attentive to her owner and very responsive to praise. I think she would do really well with someone who is dedicated to giving her regular exercise, structure and routine. I adopted her in August and am finding that my life is too busy to provide her with the latter two. While she loves every person she meets, she is not comfortable with other dogs. She was quite dog aggressive when I first got her. We have been working on this and she has improved quite a bit, but will need the new owner to continue working with her. We can go for walks now and pass other dogs without incident. All I get from her now is some whining and a desire to walk more quickly past the other dog. Overall, she is a loving, affectionate dog and would make a lucky new owner a great companion.

Australian Cattle Dog

Story
Atlas is a sweet, energetic 6-month-old Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) who loves people, playtime, and learning new things. He’s fully vaccinated, healthy, crate-trained, and doing excellent with potty training. Why He's Looking for a New Home: We adopted Atlas shortly after losing our first dog, and in our shock and grief, we underestimated how much structure and space a young working breed needs. With small children, three cats, no fenced yard, and a neighborhood with loose dogs, we aren't the right fit for his energy level. He's genuinely a wonderful puppy. We want him in a home where he can truly thrive. We will send him with his vet records, crate, toys, and current food stash. If interested: Please message with a brief overview of your experience, home setup, daily routine, and how you plan to meet his activity needs. We're looking for the best possible match for this sweet boy.

Story
Meet Waffles: A good boy, who's had it rough. Waffles is a 70-pound silver pitbull mix with the heart of a teddy bear. His story began with heartbreak—he and his sister Genesis were found keeping watch by their owner, who had passed away outside of his tent. Since then, Waffles has been in foster care, patiently waiting for a new chapter to begin. Waffles is a certified snuggler. He lives for love and affection—whether you’re relaxing on the couch or just passing by, he’s always up for some cuddles. He’s fully potty trained, sleeps well through the night, and is content when left home alone (especially if his dog bed is cozy and the vibes are calm). One of his favorite things? Bouncing up and down the stairs just for the fun of it. Recently, Waffles had a few low-grade mast cell tumors removed. He’s recovering beautifully and still full of joy, love, and curiosity. His adopters should be prepared to keep an eye on his skin and stay in touch with a vet for any future concerns—but for now, he’s doing great and loving life. Waffles does well on walks, enjoys the fresh air, and is food-motivated and trainable. He prefers to be the only dog in the home (unless carefully matched), but his affection for humans knows no bounds. If you’re looking for a deeply loyal, low-key companion with a heart full of love and a snuggle quota that never runs out—Waffles might just be your guy.

Story
This is an unaltered 7 year old male purebred German shepherd. He is very friendly and playful, healthy and is up to date on all vaccines. He had an issue with a major yeast overgrowth on his skin that caused some fur loss, but that has been fully treated and his fur is beginning to grow back now. He was unfortunately abandoned at our house and we just don't have the time or living space to keep him. He is ready for his new forever home immediately!
