Ruth is a gorgeous little tidbit who weighs in at a whopping 8 pounds. She was loved all of her life and comes to DREAM after her human person passed away.
She's no wallflower either. Fun and zesty, she's like your Aunt Carol who throws her weight around when she has no real authority. But, you know what? We like that about her. It means she's resilient, resourceful. (Aunt Carol is everyone's favorite, always.) Truth is, Ruth is a cuddlier. A lap. A blanket. A bed. Whatever is available Ruth will make herself at home and demonstrate the professional league, gold medal napper that she is. And she would like nothing more than you to join her! Ruthie is the sweetest little senior you could ever want. She loves and trusts every human she has ever met. It's instant tail wags whether you're a man, woman, child, or stranger. Ruthie likes people better than dogs. (She would prefer to be your one and only companion.) She is the unicorn of dachshunds - completely potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, and a doggy-door professional. A perfect little lady who loves to cuddle! Won't you make Ruthie your bestie?
That cataract in her left eye isn't painful and may affect her vision slightly, but when worse comes to worst, a blinged-out pirate patch would suit her personality just fine. Thankyouverymuch.
Ruth would prefer to hold the title of Only Canine in the house. She knows who she is and knows what she wants-to be the only dog in the house.

If you are interested in adopting Ruth, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our
online adoption application. Ruth's adoption fee is $350. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Ruth will go to his / her new home microchipped, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed. Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees.
DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia. Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part.
DREAM does not recommend purebred 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 doxie's back.
