Miniature Dachshund puppies and dogs in Shelbyville, Tennessee

We rescued 17 dachshund and chiweenies in August. They had not been socialized, their owner died in the house. We are slowly working with these babies and the ones we feel are ready, we get fixed and find them homes. These babies will need a patient family who will work with getting them comfortable in a new house. They may be flight risks so will need to be monitored all the time. Some have been adopted already and have done well. They are not used to being petted, picked up or touched.They are not used to kids so slow introductions will be needed but we don’t see them not liking kids. They are such brave little ones that we are determined they will all eventually get new homes. Ranger is the tallest of the group, not sure what gene is in there! He likes to walk his ‘perimeter’ and bark at anyone who comes near. He likes to play although they aren’t sure how to. He has the little dog energy and would be great with any family.

Lady was dumped at a shelter in East Tennessee when her owner went into a nursing home, and no one in the family would take her. She is fine with other small dogs but prefers to be an only dog, but you must be a strong pack leader, as she was allowed to run the house when she was with her old owner. Lady does take a bit to warm up to strangers. She was scared to death when she came to us, but after she had time to decompress, she became a happy, lovely girl. Lady loves sleeping in her fluffy, calming bed but would prefer to be with you in your bed. She also loves to share the recliner for a nap or to catch the latest movie. This little lady will even play a bit if you have another small dog, but mostly, she wants to keep your lap warm. But first, you must give her time to learn that you are okay and she is safe. Lady doesn’t like the rain or snow, so a puppy pad would be best for those days when she cannot go outside. Our must-haves for sweet Lady include: A fenced yard Needs an experienced dachshund owner! Someone who is home most of the time Another adult, small dog for her to pal around with No apartments or high-rises, as she will bark at strange noises If you think you want to give this sweet, beautiful girl her forever home, please complete our online adoption application. We will contact you after we call your vet. ============== 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.

Since she has learned the layout of our home, nothing stops her. She has chosen a full-size blanket as her favorite possession. She drags it with her everywhere. Gretchen is full of energy and is so full of love. She is the sweetest girl, sleeps in the big bed, and loves a piece of ice to chew on. Please don’t let her disability scare you, sometimes I forget she is deaf and blind. Please email us, we would love to tell you about this sweet girl. BTW, Gretchen’s favorite blanket will be accompanying her to her forever home! Those two are inseparable. UPDATE FROM GRETCHEN'S FOSTER MOM (5/18/2024):  Gretchen has been in foster care for a little over a month now, and she is simply a joy. If you love a puppy, this is the girl for you! Gretchen loves to play, enjoys playing with her foster brother, and loves her babies (her stuffed toys). She has mastered my home and yard. And I am very comfortable taking her out. We are walking on a leash, but she scares easily out in the open. She has been to a restaurant on the boat and the golf course. Gretchen has melted even the cat lovers' hearts. We are helping her learn desired behaviors by using a spray bottle to get her attention. She is so smart and learns easily! Remember, Gretchen doesn’t need sympathy; all she needs is a family to love her and provide her with structure so she knows what to expect. Please contact her foster family with any questions. BIO:  Gretchen came from Alabama when she was turned in by her owner because she could not care for her blindness and deafness. Gretchen does not know she is special needs, all she knows is she is loving life. She is all puppy, so do not apply if you are not prepared and have experience training a puppy. We are going to recommend a book for anyone interested in adopting her called “Through A Dark Silence: Loving and Living with Your Blind and Deaf Dog” by Debbie Bauer. Gretchen loves attention! She is learning not to jump on people for attention or because she’s happy to see you. Some of this could be puppy energy, but it is something that will need to be worked on. She will potty outside if kept on a schedule or use puppy pads. It’s best if you have a very playful dog or puppy yourself so she has another dog to interact with and play with. She is VERY smart! She does well on a leash but does not like a crate. She will have no problem finding herself around your house or yard. If you are interested, please email her foster mom for more info.  ============== 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.

A former breeder dog, Myles is still learning how to trust people and other dogs but has come a long way since arriving at his foster home. He follows the other dog in his foster home around all the time and has learned a lot from her. Because of that, Myles must go to a home with another dog who he can continue to learn from. Once he feels comfortable with you, he'll follow you around, too, and will want to be with you. Myles would make a great addition to a family with older children and a dog he can hang out with. He’s a very sweet dog; he just needs a little time to feel comfortable with his new family. But he will get there! Our must-haves for handsome Mr. Myles include: A fenced yard A home without small children A home without male dogs A small, young, adult, well-socialized female dog to be his buddy Breeder dog experience is a plus No apartments, high-rises, or condos ============== 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.
