NAME...........................................ELI(was Elvis) DACHSHUND............................PURE/MINI COAT...........................................SMOOTH COLOR.......................................CHOCOLATE AGE..............................................18 MOS GENDER....................................MALE WEIGHT......................................less than 10 LBS ADOPTION FEE........................250.00+10.00 chip fee contact Diane at nashcat50us@yahoo.com We just got ELI in and will need to assess him more but what we do know is he will need an experienced doxie owner as he tries to run the family. He is very hand shy due to possibly too harsh of decipline. He does have a spot on his back by his shoulders that will always have hair missing from it. We aren't sure what happened. He is fine with kids but is very protective of them. Don't know about cats would say no. Is learning to be around other dogs. He would be fine with one other or as an only dog. We don't know about housetrained yet. He's still on the timid side here but does like to get in the big bed. Will update more as we know more........ Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome, we have several transporters that for a fee will bring the dog as close to you as possible. A home visit is required. We also micro chip all our dogs and must pass the cost on to the adopter. It is only $10.00. Thank you for your interested in a rescue.

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.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
