Ellie is a sweet, sweet little girl! If you are looking for a quiet, sweet, friendly, loving lap dog look no further. Ellie is your gal! She has been with her foster family for a week now. She gets along great with her foster family's cat and dogs. She loves sleeping in the big bed and loves being around her family on the couch. She is VERY attached to her foster mom and follows her around everywhere. She is a little timid at first when she meets new people, but she is quiet and doesn't bark at anyone new. She is house trained and is learning to use a doggy door. She would do best with someone who is looking for a quiet lapdog. If there are children, they need to be older. Ellie would make any house a home. She is a truly beautiful and loving dog who deserves a fur-ever home of her own.

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.
