BIO: Drake is a retired breeder dog that came to us and 17 days later he had an IVDD episode that required back surgery. He did very well and with only 4 more one-week sessions in the water tread mill he will be able to go to his forever home. Drake will be a little shy at first but once he warms up to you, he will be all about YOU. He loves lap time and spending time outside with you and helping with yard work. If you decide you want to adopt this sweet boy, you will have to continue to protect his back so no other injury happens. That is why it is very important for you to read the “must haves”.
• Someone that will not allow him to get overweight
• Someone that will not allow him to do stairs
• Someone that will not allow him to jump
• Someone that is home a lot more than not
• Someone that has another laid back adult small dog to keep him company if you have to be gone
• Someone with IVDD experience is preferable
• Apartments, condos are acceptable
If you meet these requirements and you want to make Drake your forever dog than please fill out our online adoption application and/or reach out to foster mom for more details on him.
============== 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.
Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form.
Please don’t let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers who will help your “new friend” get up and down the East Coast or Midwest. We just can’t get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
