Elton is about 8 years young and about 10 pounds. He still needs to put some meat on his bones, but he is working hard building muscle on his bones too. He is so sweet and gets along great with other dogs. He has also been nice around children. Since being with DREAM, he has learned that humans are really nice! He learned that it feels good and warm to sit in a human's lap, human's taste good too when he licks them. He even has that pretty begging position, look and whine down. Burrowing under the blankets is great when he goes in his crate at night. Elton is now a perfect little dachshund ready for his new home!
If you are interested in adopting Elton, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to
dreamhappytails.org/adoptform.shtml. Elton 's adoption fee is $275. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Elton will go to his/her new home microchipped, altered, heartworm tested, and up to date on vaccinations. Most dogs' veterinary expenses are greater than our adoption fees.
DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group, and we focus on the Atlanta, North Georgia and Savannah area. Because we are all volunteers, we can consider applications only within an hour of these areas. DREAM does not recommend purebred 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 doxie's back.
