She reached out to us and we agreed to take Coco into our program to find her the home she deserves. Coco is a very sweet girl but is on the fluffy side and needs to lose about 5 lbs which we are working on to help her get down to her ideal weight. Coco gets along with all other dogs but we don’t know about cats or big dogs. What Coco really enjoys is being with her family. If you are willing to put in the time to help her to lose weight then she’d be an excellent candidate for your family. Our must haves for sweet Coco are: Fenced in yard Someone that will be home more than not She can be an only dog or in a home with another adult small dog Someone that is going to walk her to help her take the weight off and keep it off No apartment, high rises, condos or duplex’s If you meet these requirements then don’t hesitate to get approved to adopt this sweet little girl. ============== 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. 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.
