Although we are not quite sure of her past, we do know that she was picked up as a stray in North Carolina, very thin and with very long nails. She was placed in the back of the shelter as non-adoptable. I cannot imagine why because she is about as sweet of a dog as you can get! A volunteer at the shelter contacted an AADR volunteer and this precious girl was brought to rescue. Holly gets along very well with other dogs, both male and female, and she also does not mind the cat. She loves a lap or nice fluffy blankets to burrow in. Staying true to her dachshund traits, Holly loves meal time! You will find her prancing around with the other dogs in excitement waiting to be fed. We do not crate Holly. She is completely fine being gated in a room with potty pads (but do not be surprised if she still waits to go outside to potty) or left to roam the house. At night, she happily sleeps on the couch on and in a pile of blankets. We have ramps to the couch and from the doggy door to the ground outside. Holly uses them like a champ! She has very limited vision, if any at all, but she can hear! It took her only about 1 day to learn the lay of the house and she knows her way around just as well as any sighted dog does. We have not tried taking her for any walks so we are unsure if she would enjoy them. Our wish for Holly’s furever home is, of course, a fenced yard, limited time left home alone, and another dog to pal around with. Holly will do best in a calm environment without children or a lot of noise. We do not want to see Holly go to a home where she will be crated. This girl deserves a lot of love and lap time and she will give the same in return. She is quiet, rarely barks, and is so, so sweet! We will continue to update as we see her personality flourish. Feel free to email Foster Mom at decollinss@aol.com with questions and you can visit http://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/ to fill out an application. Please take time to review the “Read Before You Adopt” portion of the Webpage. =============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $45 fee added for the required Health Certificate. We will not adopt into the state of CT, RI, NH or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have an issue with this, you 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. If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please review Read Before You Adopt and then you can complete an Application. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE. Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
