She is a low maintenance dog and she sleeps her day away. The only time she gets excited is when it's time to eat!<br/><br/>She will come up to you for attention ... scratches under the chin and pets ... but for the most part she just wants to sleep the time away in her X pen and doggy bed. If you're looking for a low maintenance dog then Dixie would be a great companion for you.<br/><br/>We are looking for a home in the state of Tennessee that could possibly come to visit her a time or two prior to her moving into their home. AADR will be responsible for her care, you just have to give her love.<br/><br/>Our must-haves for Dixie:<br/> - A fenced yard is NOT necessary, but you would have to leash her to take her outside and stay with her until it was time to come in<br/> - She would need to be an ONLY dog<br/> - It is NOT necessary that you be home all the time. She is quite happy snoozing the day away if you work outside the home.<br/> - Apartments are okay for her as long as it's on the ground floor ... no elevators or stairs.<br/><br/>============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form.<br/><br/>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.

BIO UPDATE: Dixie is looking for a forever foster to live the rest of her life in peace and calm.

She came from Alabama when her owner passed away. None of the family wanted Dixie probably because there is a strong suspicion that she was abused by her owner who had dementia.

For that reason, the abuse that she suffered and because she is blind, she is rather defensive so it has to be a foster home that is willing to understand why she is the way she is . She is a low maintenance dog and she sleeps her day away. The
