He was not adjusting to life in a townhouse with no fenced in yard so it was in his best interest to get him into rescue where we could find him a good home and that we will do. Stevie is a wonderful dog but he is anxious so there a few things that he must have. A fenced in yard is a must Another adult small dog for him to hang with Someone that either works from home or is a stay-at-home person No apartment, high rises, townhouses, or condos Stevie is becoming more playful as he is getting comfortable being in his foster home. He follows foster mom around to help her do whatever needs to be done. He gets along with the other fosters, male, and female. He does know how to use a doggie door but it is not required if you do not have one but at first, you would need to take him out on a schedule. Would you not just love to boop that nose of his? If you are interested in adopting him then please go to our website and fill out our online adoption application. As handsome as this boy is I would not wait too long as you will miss out on this sweet boy. ============== 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.

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.
