Story
This is mater he is almost 10 months old. He is an energetic young gap and lab mix. He is insanely smart and sweet. He loves to retrieve and play outside. I cannot keep him because I’m am getting married this coming up spring and having him is making finding a house to rent very hard. He needs a nice home that is willing to love him and give him attention.

She came from rural TN and was bred every time she came into season but lucky for her a Good Samaritan saw her plight and stepped in to take her. The Good Samaritan was driven to save her but could not keep her so she reached out to us for help. Rosie is all sunshine and roses and she SMILES! If you talk sweetly to her, she’ll give you her sweet smile. You can see it in one of her pictures. Rosie didn’t know how to play but she is learning and would be fine with another male or female pup around her age that is socialized. She craves attention because she never had any and she loves it. Sadly, she came to us with heartworms so she will go through treatment for those and will not be available until the 28th of November, just in time for the holidays. Don’t let the heartworms scare you. She is light heartworm positive and she’ll be clear of them when she goes to her forever home. This delay will give you plenty of time to plan for Rosie and shop for her for the holiday. Our must haves for this little one are: A fenced in yard Another brother or sister to learn to play with, young and small - no big dogs Someone that can be home more than not Please no apartments, high rises or condo If you want years of devotion, then you can’t go wrong with this Rosie. Apply, get approved, and we’ll keep you posted on how she is doing with treatment. If you live close enough, you can come and visit her when approved. ============= 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.

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.

It’s very clear that she was never socialized because when she came to us, she was very scared of us but as she has settled in, she has gotten better. She will need someone that is patient with her and understand it takes time to build trust, can that be you? Sadly, she lost 16 teeth during her dental and had a mammary tumor removed that has been sent out. She also had a flea allergy but when her fur grows back and she puts her 2 pounds back on she’ll be one beautiful little lady. Look at her beautiful eyes don’t you think she deserves a great home like yours? Our must haves for her are: • Fenced in yard • Other young to adult small dog or two for her to hang with and learn from • Someone that can be home more than not • Please no condos, high rises or apartments If you meet these requirements and want Mia to learn love and trust then please don’t wait but give her the home she deserves. ============== 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.

Story
Cash is super friendly. He is a very easy going dog. He is goofy and doesn’t require much to be happy. He gets a little territorial around food with little ones but that is the only complaint. I hate to rehome him and hope he can find a home with a loving and free scheduled family.
