She had to give up Birdie due to life changes beyond her control. Doing the right thing, she wanted Birdie to come to us so she’d get a great forever home. Birdie is such a sweet little girl, happy, friendly, and playful with other small young dogs. She does not care for cats and will bark at them and probably chase them if she can get to them. She’s never been around big dogs, so if you have a dog over 25 pounds, she may not do well in your home. The one thing we can tell you is that she loves to play and will play with multiple dogs at once. She loves running in the yard and greeting each new day with gusto! If you are looking for sunshine in one small body, then this is your girl! Our must-haves for beautiful Birdie include: A fenced yard Another or two young (3 years or under), small dog(s) for her to play with Someone who can be home more often than not; she would love your company too Please no apartments, high-rises, or condos because, like other dachshunds, she loves to bark when she hears someone close to her home Oh, she has one blue eye too, in case you didn’t see that in the picture. This one is sweetness overload! ============== 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.
