Bio: came from a shelter in southern TN pregnant. She's had her babies and they are finding homes in the north. Ellie still had her baby teeth so she is nothing but a baby herself. She is working very hard on housetrianing and doing very well, learned the dog door in no time. Likes to sleep all night in the big bed and play with the other dogs during the day. She is crate trained for up to 6-7 hours.

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.
