Her owner passed away and no one in the family wanted her. Gracie is an older lady and just wants to find a home where she can spend the last of her golden years. She is very friendly, loving, and the sweetest little girl. She gets along great with her foster sisters. Gracie does not like sharing her doggie bed and will growl if another dog tries to get in bed with her. She loves to eat but unfortunately, she lost 17 teeth when she had her dental and is still on softened food. Gracie loves spending her days sleeping. She would do great as an only dog and would love it if you were retired where you would be at home with her all day. Gracie loves cuddling on the couch with her person under her blanket. She would love to sleep in the big bed. Our must haves for sweet Gracie: A fenced yard since she loves walking around and smelling the ground. Someone who is at home all the time Apartment or Condo would be okay. ============= 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.
