Chico has not had a good life. He came to us from North Carolina, where, we believe, he was kept in a crate when he was a puppy. The crate was too small for him, not letting his legs grow properly, and he was malnourished. Chico is a sweet boy, who wants to follow you everywhere and be your little shadow. He is fine with other dogs but doesn’t really interact with them much. He’s more interested in being with his humans. He is not comfortable with someone picking him up, especially strangers. He will play with toys some but is more interested in snuggling in a dog bed. Children must be respectful of his space as he was not treated well at the last home, where he was pestered by the younger child. Chico will come to you in his own correctly sized crate. Please consider Chico, he deserves the last part of his life to be a happy and peaceful one! ============== 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.
