BIO:  Nikki came from Alabama where she was picked up as a stray and taken to the shelter. We can’t imagine why anyone would want to lose or give up this sweet girl. She’s a little shy at first but warms quickly. She wants to play with the foster brother and sisters at the foster home, but they aren’t into that, but she’ll play with people too! She’ll sleep all night in a dog bed but would love your bed if you’ll let her (what do you say)? 

Our must-haves for gorgeous Nikki include:
  - A fenced yard
  - Another young, small-to-medium dog to play with
  - No apartments, high-rises, or condos as this girl loves to run circles in the yard
  - Someone who can be gone only between 2-6 hours, any more than that and she gets restless

If you are thinking of adding to your pack and want a sweet girl that’s energetic and can play with you or your dog, then please don’t wait to apply for Nikki because she’s waiting for YOU. 

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dogs 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 dont 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 cant get them from one coast to the other.  Please look for dogs on your coast.
