Roscoe was surrendered in East Tennessee, and AADR stepped in to help him out. He is doing great with the dachshunds and cats in his foster home. He is learning to trust. Being all dachshund, he will bark at strangers until he knows that they are okay and will give him some attention. Roscoe figured out the doggie door very quickly and loves being outside, walking on a leash, and exploring all the smells. Our walks are with two big dogs in the neighborhood, and he has no problem with them. He is a playful pup but has not yet become enthusiastic about toys. Roscoe is crate-trained, rides well in the car, loves his doggie beds, and relaxes on the couch with his human. He does sleep in his crate, but he would love to be in the Big Bed with his people. Roscoe has already lost a couple of pounds but needs to have someone continue with his weight loss. Check out this handsome boy! Our must-haves for sweet Roscoe include: A fenced yard Someone who will continue to help him lose weight and maintain a healthy weight Another small dog to show him the ropes No apartments or high-rises since he likes to bark ============== 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.

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.
