Luke is a wonderful pup but having “ruled the roost” in his former life he did have issues with guarding his possessions. We received this update from Luke’s foster mom who is also his trainer:<br/><br/>Luke is learning and growing in obedience commands. The best command he is learning is "leave it". He must learn “leave it” for you to safely retrieve any items he is guarding. He is doing a great job. Luke loves to snuggle and loves all the attention from anyone who is willing to give it in that moment. He has worked with both men and women and will always give attention and respond to the things he knows when food is involved. He now loves taking his long walks daily. He doesn't really care for larger dogs and gets a bit nippy when they are playing or at a heightened sense of arousal. He likes calm and wants to shut them down quickly dachshund style. So, he stays on leash and is learning to just observe. Not too bad at all for an older dachshund. Luke is a great pup and quite handsome to boot.<br/><br/>An approved adopter will need to go to Winston-Salem, NC to meet Luke and his foster mom/trainer to learn how to continue his newly learned commands.<br/><br/>BIO: Luke was an owner surrender from Tennessee. He had belonged to an elderly person who allowed him to run the household. In doing so, he picked up some bad habits. With our help, he has developed some manners, but he will need to go to an experienced dachshund owner.<br/><br/>Luke came into rescue overweight. He has lost some weight, but he may need to lose another pound or two after he is adopted. He really is a sweet, happy boy! He loves being outside and will do zoomies in the yard in the morning. We do know that he does not like going to the vet to get his nails trimmed, and a muzzle must be used. We also know that he doesn’t care for strangers. New people coming into the home would need to be made aware of this and not just walk in. Therefore, we think a quieter home would be best for him, one with few visitors. Taking Luke out for walks and to non-stressful environments, such as PetSmart, would be great for him.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a standard, then here is your chance. Please help Luke find his last forever home.<br/><br/>Our must-haves for adorable Luke include:<br/> - A fenced yard<br/> - A quieter home<br/> - He can be an only dog or with another small, adult dog<br/> - Only adult children in the home, 14 years plus<br/> - An approved adopter will need to go to Winston-Salem, NC to meet Luke and his foster mom/trainer to learn how to continue his newly learned commands.<br/> - No apartments, high-rises, or condos<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/>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. <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.
