A Good Samaritan asked us to take a dog that she saved from an apparent drug user who was selling her for $20 on a street corner. Of course we did not hesitate. Gisselle has had multiple litters of puppies in her short life and was in need of medical care. Sadly, when she arrived in rescue, she was heart worm positive, so she has been with us for the last three months during her treatment. In a couple of weeks Gisselle will have her dental and be ready to go to her forever home. Giselle was very timid and frightened. For the longest time she would not pull herself away from the wall she was leaning against. However, soon she was coming to the front of her pen to get her daily treats. Then it wasn't long before she wanted to be out with the other dogs but would not let us touch her. Everything was a slow process of gaining her trust and she was not a happy girl. But now her tail wags and she is happy to see us, get her food, and be out to run with the other fosters. We know this will tug at everyone’s heart strings but unless you are committed to helping her become the wonderful pet she can be, do not rush to apply. Seeing her take her baby steps in becoming a normal pup is a blessing in itself. Our must have for this beautiful little lady are: A fenced in yard Another adult, small, well socialized dog for her to continue to learn from Someone that can be home more than not Someone with either unsocialized dog experience or someone that has lots of patience and a desire to help her No apartment, condos, or high rises She will stay with us until the right home comes along. We know that loving home she deserves is out there. ============== 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.
