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!

Story
I am trying to find a home for Chop. Chop is my Mom’s dog. My Mom is almost 70 years old and her health has declined severely in the last 6 months. Chop is currently living chained up outside because my mom can no longer bring him in and out of the house. She has fell twice leading to an injured shoulder and hip decreasing her ability to walk. Chop is an old sweet man as I like to call him. He loves people and kids. He likes cats and small dogs. He is very friendly. Chop is strong to be 11 years old. Please help us find Chop a home before surrendering Him to animal control is the only option.

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.
