Meet Ellie

Ellie was surrendered by a family in MO. She is a diamond! She is 99.999% housebroken. We have a doggie door, but if she can’t go to it she will sit by the front door & whine to let you know she has to go potty!!!

She is great with kids (as long as they are respectful to her). If a child runs up quickly to her she will run, but if they call her to them she will let them love on her for hours. Her current foster home has 3 young children and she does great with them. She totally ignores the cats in the home. Ellie walks great on a leash & loves to go walking! She is completely fine with male, female, big or small dogs. She really is the total package! We aren’t quite sure why she was even surrendered.

If you are looking for a lap buddy and walking companion she is your girl!

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.
