It was a tough decision, but one that had to be made. Gemma is as sweet as they come and very friendly! She LOVES attention and will follow you wherever you go in the house and yard. She gets along great with other dogs, male and female, but please no big dogs because, as small as she is and never having been around one, they would scare her too much. We are also saying no to cats, mainly because she’s never been around one, and we have no way to properly test her with one. If you are looking for a love bug, then Gemma would be the one for you, but understand she has never been an only dog, so we’ll only consider people who have another young, small dog to keep her company while you are out of the home. Our must-haves for sweet little Gemma include: A fenced yard Someone who can be home more often than not Another young, small dog for her to play with and cuddle with No apartments, high-rises, or condos since she, like other Dachshunds, likes to bark If you think you can give Gemma the home she deserves, please apply online and go through the approval process. ============== 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.
