Willard is looking for his ‘Furever Home.’  He was picked up as a stray and no one came looking for him so AADR stepped in to help.  We are so glad because Willard loves being with people and is such a good boy.  Willard loves to be loved on and he loves to give kisses. He plays with toys and will go get them.  Willard loves to run with the other dachshunds around the yard, investigating all the smells that the yard has to offer.  He likes to ride in the car and does well in his crate.  He is so smart; he quickly learned the doggie door. When you get his harness, he will sit quietly for you to put it on him.  He loves long walks and has even met the neighbor’s big dogs and has no problems walking with them.  Keep in mind that he will be reactive to strange dogs and people on walks so you must keep a strong hold on his leash.  This is something you will have to work with him.  When new people are coming into the house, he will react but will warm up quickly.  That being said, he is a good pup and gets along with the cats in the house. Must-haves for sweet Willard include: A fenced yard A doggie door would be a plus Another small dog for him to buddy with or as an only dog No apartments, condos, or high rises If you are looking for your next best doggie friend look no farther than Willard!! ============== 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. Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form. 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.

Our adoption process is documented on our website at: http://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/info/adoption We do check all references including vet and a home visit is conducted for each animal adoption unless the adopter has previously adopted and there have been no changes or large lapse of time.
