She had two puppies, one has already found his home but can’t go to his home until Mocha is adopted and they both leave the same day so one is not lonely when the other leaves. Mocha is a sweet sweet puppy and just loves belly rubs. He will likely be in the 10-12 lbs range as mom is a black and tan smooth coat and dad was a black and tan wire. Yes it was an oops deal. But if you are looking for a sweet little guy to warm your heart then this guy is it. You must be active enough to keep up with a toddler for several years to come and you another kitten or very young small dog that needs company then here he is. Our must haves for him are: Fenced in yard Someone home enough to potty train him and active enough to get him out and get him socialized (this is VERY important) trip to pet stores and any place where there are people Another young small dog/puppy or young cat or kitten No apartment, high rises or condos ============== 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 cannot 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.
