When Artie first arrived, he was quite shy. After nearly a month in rescue, he has really come out of his shell and become very social with people he knows. Adopters should expect him to be a bit shy initially, but with a little time, he will become a loving and playful companion. He loves playing games, which includes playfully stealing items like dryer sheets, toys, or paper so you will chase him! Artie currently uses a doggie door. If his new home does not have one, he will need to be taken out to potty on a regular schedule.  Artie is crate trained so or if you were going to be gone crating him would be fine. Our must haves for the little man are: A fenced in yard is a must Another small adult dog for him to hang with Someone that can be home more than not Please no apartments, high rises or condos If you think you can give Artie a great forever home then don’t waste time.  Fill out our application.  He’ll be waiting for you to take him home the end of December. Thank you for thinking of rescue and wanting to help the homeless one rescue at a time. ============== 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.
