BIO: Elsa is a one year old standard dachshund whose owners turned her into the local animal shelter. Why, we don’t know but she is so sweet. She loves to play with her foster brother. They are always chasing each other through the house. She is a little hyper but that is because of her age but when she slows down she loves to cuddle and give kisses.

Good with Dogs, Is Not Good with Kids
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.
