He came from East Tennessee when he was surrendered by his family due to their inability to continue to care for him. Jake is shy at first, but warms up once he feels he knows you. He gets along well with the female dog in the foster home, but likes his quiet time. He’s a very low-key guy who likes to relax both inside and out. He’s housebroken as long as he’s kept on a regular schedule. He’s leash-trained but doesn’t care for walks. Therefore, a fenced-in backyard is a must for Jake. If you are looking for a dog that would like to relax alongside you, Jake is the right guy for you! Our must-haves for sweet Jake include: A fenced yard Someone who can be home some with him more often than not No apartments or high-rises ============== 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. 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.
