Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello there, I am Eli!
I am a 23 pound Dachshund mix. We are not sure what I am mixed with, the breeder said I was a standard Dachshund but I was useless. Why? Because I did not like the mini Dachshunds he tried to breed me to. So he put me in a tiny cage and sold me at the Flea Market.
I have been in foster care for almost 2 years to teach me how to be a dog. Yes, that is right. I had to be taught to walk on grass. Taught how to drink water out of a bowl and stop hiding in the corner.
Now I am a confident young man that wants to move to a home of his own. I am still shy and need a home with experience. I am not the kind of dog a first time dog owner should adopt. I like toys and I love to lay in the back of the couch and watch TV! One of my new favorite things is to walk on a leash in the park. It took some time but I love going for walks now.
Most dogs and I get along. I am good with both large and small dogs. I can be a little bossy with some dogs. But I am not aggressive or bite them.
My perfect home would be a mature home without small children. A home with a dog my size that likes to chill and sniff with me in the yard. I can be in a small home or a large farm. As long as you love me and care for me I am yours!
Loyalty to me is giving you kisses and letting you cry on my soft shoulders during a movie. If you want a partner that will lovingly stay by your side I am your man.
A lot of hard work has gone into my recovery so my new parents need to have a serious dedication to my continued care and love. I am a puppy mill survivor and I now deserve the best life has to offer.
