Luna is ready to go Trick or Treating are you ready to take her. She does great with spine walking would only need a diaper on at night and take out 3-4 times during the day. This girl so deserves a forever home, please consider her. (9/13/2024): Luna is doing very, very well. She is almost finished with her physical therapy and will soon be going to her permanent foster home where she will remain until she finds her forever home. Luna is a happy little girl. She will always “wobble walk” (check out her video) but she is doing very, very well. BIO: Luna came from a breeder in North Carolina when she went down in the back. We took her immediately to our specialty vet clinic, and they determined that she was not a candidate for surgery. So, we had to put her through physical therapy to teach her to spine walk. Spinal walking (SW) occurs when a paralyzed dog with no pain sensation or feeling in their legs learns to walk and stand through reflex. Luna is doing very well and is also getting laser therapy and Acupuncture. She will never walk normally, but she has learned to walk instead of dragging her back legs. She is a very determined little lady, and she deserves a home where they appreciate her willingness to keep working to strengthen her legs. Our must-haves for precious Luna include: A fenced yard to get out and continue to strengthen her back legs, and when outside, she is FAST Someone who is home more often than not Someone with IVDD experience Another small young dog for her to hang with No apartments, high-rises, or condos Please don’t just look at her coloring and want her for that, because of her back issue, the adopter will need to have the experience of having a downed dog and know how to express a bladder. If you do not have this experience, then please do not apply. If you have the experience and would like more information before applying for her, you can email her foster mom at aadrpresidentgmail, and she’ll be happy to answer any questions you have. ============== 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: .allamericandachshundrescue/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.

  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.
