Despite his rough start, Toby’s heart is pure love! This mellow guy’s favorite things include cuddling, burrowing under blankets, and following his people wherever they go. He’s a professional snuggler who would love nothing more than to curl up in your lap or nap beside you. Toby sleeps well in his crate—as long as it’s close to his people—but he would be thrilled to share the big bed at night, too! He does occasionally bark in his crate, so apartment living wouldn’t be ideal. Because Toby also loves to stretch his legs and run, a secure fenced yard is required. He’s not much of a toy player and can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he feels safe, he’ll shower you with all the love, kisses, and cuddles you can handle. Toby is ready to find his forever family—a kind, patient home where he can continue learning what it means to be loved. Our must haves for this handsome fellow are: A fenced yard Another young small dog for him to learn, to play, and to cuddle with Someone who is home more often than not No apartments, high-rises, or condos If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion to share your days (and your blankets), Toby might be your perfect match! ============== 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.
