BIO: Spurgeon came from Tennessee when there was a life change in the household and they could not care for him. He is a little reserved at first but if he is with another dog that is socialized, he realizes that it’s ok to be happy and friendly. Spurgeon gets along with male and female pups, but we are going to say no cats. We think he would be ok with children, but they have to be 10 yrs and older. He could knock a younger child down in his excitement. He does need to be with another dog, not be an only dog. Spurgeon has a great personality he just needs a home to let it shine through.
If you are looking for one handsome dude, he’s your guy.
Our must haves for him are:
Fenced in yard
Another young small dog for him to hang with and play with
Someone home more than not
Sorry no apartments, high rises or condos
If you are interested in him then drop us a line or better yet, fill out that online adoption application to adopt him, he won’t last long he’s too handsome.
============== 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 cannot 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.
