Winston came to us when his owner went into a nursing home and the family didn’t want him so they gave him to a person that knew we did rescue and after keeping him they decided to turn him over to us to find him his last forever home. He maybe almost 13 yrs but he doesn’t act it. While he may not run a marathon he, sill can hang with another adult small dog. He really would enjoy having a home with a nice fenced in yard, someone he can follow around all day and sleep with at night. Are you that person? Lonely? Well Winston is here to help you get over that. He’s ready and willing to grace your home with himself. He will also be your body guard and protect you against strangers and things that go bump in the night. So, when a stranger comes to your door proper introductions are needed. Once he knows they are friend then he’ll be fine. But don’t let that stop you from having the “bestest” friend you’ll ever have. Our must haves for him are: Fenced in yard Someone that’s home all the time or retired Can be an only dog or with another adult to senior dog(small) No children, they would make him too nervous No cats If you fulfill these requirements then go to our website and fill out the online adoption application. We’ll be in touch in a jiffy and don’t forget to let your vet know we’ll be calling for a reference. ============== 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.
