Once on land he was not problem potty training him but at first you would have to get him on a schedule. Max was adopted and returned after just 2 days through not fault of his. Max is active and if you want someone to be a couch potato then Max would not be a good fit for your home. He loves to be with you, follow you or have you throw his favorite toy. He'll also play with other young smaller dogs. Cats would be a no-no. Children 9 and up only because if he jumped on them he could not them down, only in his excitement to meet new friends. He is highly food motivated so he would need to be fed separately because he'll wolf his food down and want the others. We are sending him with a slow bowl to help to slow him down but he can still eat pretty fast. Max doesn't like his nails trimmed very well so a muzzle would be best when it needed to be done. BUT if you are looking for a happy, very friendly boy whose up for anything then Max is your man! Our must-haves for fun-loving Max include: A fenced yard is a must Another smaller young dog for him to play with as he does love to play with other dogs and toys NO big dogs Someone who can be home some with him or work from home The adopter must be active; no couch potatoes need apply No apartments, high-rises, or condos If you meet these requirements and want to add to your pack, then now is the time to apply for Max ============== 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.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
