He was one of three dogs from the home - one has been adopted, and Snoopy, along with Charlie, is still looking for that special forever home. Sadly, Charlie is Heartworm positive and will not be able to go to his forever home until the middle of August. He is absolutely worth the wait, as he is such a great dog! Charlie does not know a stranger. He is a friendly, happy boy. You are instantly his friend, and he lets you know that by wagging his tail and running up to you to say “Hi.” We are not sure how he would do with cats, so we said “no” to cats, but he is great with other dogs, male or female. He does not really care for a kennel, but would be fine left unattended in a room or house while you run out to do some errands. Sadly, because of poor dental care, he has lost all his teeth except his lower canines. Our must-haves for adorable Charlie include: A fenced yard, since he loves the outside Another adult small dog for him to hang with Someone who is home more often than not No high-rises, condos, or apartments, as Dachshunds do like 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.
