The problem was that Buster thought he ran the house. He is leery of strangers due to a lack of socialization. With that being said, he’s a great dog and loves being with people and is fine with other dogs. Whoever adopts Buster must be the "alpha" and let him know that he cannot run the show. When he understands that, he is a wonderful dog—happy and housebroken. He would do better with someone who is looking for a frosty face and is home most of the time. When you are home, he will follow you from room to room, but if you must leave, then he will bark. Are you willing to give him a chance at getting the last home of his life? Do not let his one behavior scare you off; it can be corrected, but you must be the alpha. Our must-haves for adorable Buster include: A fenced yard Someone who is home more often than not or is retired Another small, adult or senior dog for him to hang with No apartments, high-rises, or condos If you want to give him his forever home, please apply. ============== 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.

Overview:
The Dachshund, affectionately known as the "wiener dog," is a fascinating breed originating in Germany, primarily bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. Their most distinctive physical characteristic is their long, low-slung body and short, muscular legs, a feature perfectly adapted for tunneling. They come in three coat types – smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired – and various sizes, from miniature to standard. Temperamentally, Dachshunds are known for being courageous, curious, and often quite playful, with a surprising amount of energy. While they are intelligent, their independent nature can make training a delightful challenge. Their small size and relatively low exercise requirements make them well-suited for apartment living, and they can be wonderful companions for families, though early socialization is key, especially with children and other pets. Regarding health, their unique body shape predisposes them to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), so careful handling and weight management are crucial.
