BIO:  Eli was rescued from a breeder who had many dachshunds.  He spent most if not all of his time outdoors.  Eli has tested positive for heartworms and will complete his treatment before he goes to his new home.  Don’t let that stop you from choosing him; he would love to help you get the new year off to a great start.

Eli is nervous around new people and sometimes growls, but he has never shown any aggression.  He is easily won over with a few gentle words and tasty treats.  Once he realizes that you are okay he wants to be with you.  His nervousness around new people is decreasing as he becomes more comfortable in his foster home and is meeting more nice people.  He would probably be frightened by young children though.  Eli walks well on a leash and enjoys strolls around the neighborhood.  He gets along very well with other dogs.  He has not been in a house with cats, but on our walks he pays very little attention to any we see, so would probably be fine with them.  He is crate trained and is doing very well with housebreaking.  He stays in his crate when nobody is home and runs around the house with the other dogs the rest of the time.  He has had very few accidents and has learned very quickly where he should and should not go.  Eli enjoys helping in the kitchen, watching TV, and hanging out in a dog bed with other dogs.  He hasn’t learned to play fetch, but he does enjoy chewing on a Nylabone. 

Eli is an easy going and gentle little fellow and would love to be your new best friend.

Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.

If shipping by volunteers through our organization or paid transporter, then there will be an additional $25 fee for the Health Certificate required. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  Please Read Before You Adopt to learn more about transportation options.  If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and Fill Out an Application

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.
