BIO:  Elsa came from Middle Alabama along with five other Dachshunds that were breeder dogs.  She had to be given up due to the failing health of her owner.

Elsa is a bit shy and will take a bit to warm up, but she’s getting better as she is settling in to our rescue.

She gets along with the other dogs at the Halfway House, both male and female, but we don’t know about cats.

We are working on leash training but she really needs another socialized dog and a fenced yard to learn to be a pet rather than a breeding machine.

Can you help her realize that dream?

Thank you for thinking of 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.
