Story
Hopper is 2 years old and a very loving pup. He is a magnet though. He does not like to be by himself. He loves company and to play. He lets you know when he has to potty. He has a feeding schedule that he likes to stick with. He has some separation anxiety when it comes to eating. He likes it when you hang out with him while he eats. He is very well behaved and has been a great part of the family. Unfortunately I can’t be selfish and expect him to be at home for 11-13 hours by himself. I have a very time consuming job and Hopper deserves a family that can give him more time and love. He is a full bread dachshund that is ckc registered. -he does love a heated blanket or a beating pad

After only one week, Bandit has become part of the pack. He loves playing with toys and his brother (check out his video). It took him only a week to adjust and he is getting even more comfy each day. He cuddles and loves to get kisses. Bandit did sleep in the crate the first few nights here but started crying around 5:30 am. He currently sleeps in the bed with us and does great. He sleeps in late and barely moves around except to give more cuddles and kisses. Leash training is still a task, and some days are better than others. Bandit continues to do well in foster care. He loves to play and chase his foster brother, so a playmate is a must! He does love to bark, like many dachshunds do. He still gets nervous if you reach down when standing up, but he is doing so much better every day. Take a chance with this cutie, and you won't be sorry! Our must-haves for adorable Bandit include: A fenced yard Another young, small dog that is well socialized so he can learn from them Someone with patience or breeder dog experience who understands it is going to take time A single-family home only Someone who could be home more than not If you meet all these requirements and want to adopt, please go to our website and apply online.

He cries when he misplaces his favorite toy and when he can’t see his foster people. He is working hard on potty training but isn’t reliable yet. His tiny legs, soulful eyes and happy wagging bottom may make him seem innocent, but don’t be fooled - he’s a whirlwind of excitement and playfulness and needs someone who can keep up with and appreciate his antics. He loves his toys, but doesn’t love sharing. He decides when you can play with him and will toss a ball at you when he’s ready to play with you, otherwise he’s content playing by himself. Tobi is still learning boundaries, often testing his limits in his foster home, especially when no one is looking. He’ll chew on anything he can get his mouth on, and if he can’t reach it, he’s got a vertical jump that rivals an NBA player. When it’s quiet, he’s up to something! Despite being the master of mayhem, Tobi has a heart full of love. He loves snuggling up for a nap after playtime, and his tail rarely stops wagging when he’s with his foster family. He sleeps through the night in the big bed, but when he’s ready to get up, you better be, too. He tolerates one snooze on the alarm clock and after that, it’s go time! In the house, he is reactive to new people by showing off his meanest bark. Like many toddlers, though, he quickly warms up after proper introductions. On the other hand, his reactivity to cars, dogs, and people (even in their own yards) when outside includes lunging, pulling hard on the leash and his “big dog” bark. This is a work in progress and will take time, practice, and patience. He’s a very smart little guy and is food motivated, which is helpful during training sessions. He’s also eager to please. Tobi is a lively, loveable little companion who will bring endless joy and laughter into the right home! BIO:  Tobi came from Maryland when his owner had to work too many hours to give him the time he needed and deserved.  They contacted AADR to help find him a new home.  Tobi loves toys to the point that he will protect them, so if you have another dog, there could be a scuffle over the toys.  Tobi, however, is also good as an only dog if you work from home or are a stay-at-home person.  It’s important that you can keep up with his energy level.  Tobi loves zoomies and playing catch when you throw the ball - just don’t expect him to bring it back, you must work for it!  He is young so keep in mind you have to be young enough to keep him happy.  Could that be you?  Maybe you need a jogging buddy? He also loves the snow and cold and he really likes it if you'll stay outside with him and throw snowballs.  He'll settle down inside after he's had some energy run off.  Keep in mind that Tobi is reactive to other dogs on walks and people, so you have to keep a strong hold on his leash.  You'll have to work with him on this.  He does not like men in hats and will react to new people coming into the home but will warm after a few minutes. Keep in mind because he does protect his toys if you do have another dog, they can have no toys that way there will be no fights over toys, and they'll play with each other. Tobi does have some separation anxiety, which is why he may do better with a younger small FEMALE dog to play with and keep him company if you do have to go out. But the foster mom crates him so he doesn't get into mischief while she is out for short periods of time. Our must-haves for adorable Tobi include: A fenced yard Someone who is home more often than not A submissive young small female dog to play with and pal around with No apartments, condos, townhomes, or high-rises; shared walls would not be good If you meet all these requirements, please fill out our online adoption application.  ============== 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.
