For ten years old this girl has got a lot of life in her and she’ll help you work the garden, go for walks or just chase all the overnight critters out of the fenced yard. Ellie came to us from Tennessee when she did not get along with the young grandchildren, for a while she was used to an adult home and with many Dachshunds, they can not tolerate the hustle and bustle of very young children. She did come to us needing a dental, due to poor dental care and she ended up losing 20 teeth, one being an upper canine but now that all those nasty teeth are out of her mouth she smells better and feels so much better. Ellie really needs a home with another dachshund that is 8-10 yrs old or could be an only dog if the adopter is newly retired or works from home. The only thing negative we have seen about Ellie is she doesn’t like to be crated in a car and will carry on. Tethered in the front seat or held would be a different story. Our must haves for her are: A fenced in yard Someone that can be home more than not Another adult to senior small dog for her to pal around with Please no apartments, high rises or condo because like many dachshunds she will bark and that could cause problems with the landlord ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== 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. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures. To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ellie in TN, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
