BIO: Frank-e and Chimmey came from Kentucky when the family had very young children, and the boys were not doing well with having young children around, so they were surrendered to us to find them a home with no small children in the family. They truly are brothers from another mother. They are a bonded pair!
Frank-e does not like loud noises, firecrackers, sirens, or screaming children. He does not like going out in the rain. He likes covers and blankets. And, he loves squeaky toys!
Chimmey loves the snow and belly rubs. He’s very food motivated. He does like to bark and run around with other dogs. He doesn’t really care for toys but loves his brother Frank-e.
They both take a little time to warm up, but once they do, they are fine. They love the doggie door, and it would be great if you have one. Unfortunately, Frank-e lost 16 teeth at his dental, but Chimney lost none, though he may lose a couple at his next dental in a year. With small mouths, it’s important to have yearly dental checkups.
If you are looking for a new family, then these boys would be perfect. We are glad to communicate with you about them if you are truly interested in adopting. You can’t go wrong with these two. They have both been groomed; Frank-e is very leery about grooming due to possible rough handling, but Chimmey does great. They are both up to date on all their shots and dental care.
Our must-haves for this precious bonded pair include:
A fenced yard; a doggie door would be great too
Someone who could be home more often than not
No apartments, high-rises, duplexes, or condos since Dachshunds can and will bark
============== 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.
