Newly retired? Want an instant family? Well, this boy is just what you need! He came from Ohio when his owner died, and the family could not keep him. He loves to sleep either with you or in a bed beside you. More than anything, Simba loves to be with his family. Simba just wants to be loved. It’s easy to see that he was very loved by his owner, except for vetting. It was easy to see that the owner was home most of the time because he waits for you to come home and can get vocal until the foster mom or dad does. If you are retired and have lots of free time to take him on long walks and spend your time with him, then he would love for you to adopt him. Our must-haves for adorable Simba include: A fenced yard Someone active who is home often or retired Someone looking for a loving family member No apartments, condos, or high-rises, as he can get vocal Please do not wait to give him the last home he'll know. He has been through so much already. Reach out if you want more info on Simba. If you live out of state, we can help with transport to get him to you. ============== 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. 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.

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.
