Elliot is a handsome male Dachshund, born in August 2017, who’s looking for a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and cherished. This sweet boy tends to bond more closely with women and would do best in a quieter home with older children who understand his gentle nature. Elliot does well with cats, but he may prefer to be the main dog in your life, as he hasn’t spent much time around other dogs. He can be nervous during loud noises and storms, so a patient family willing to provide reassurance and comfort will help him feel secure. This lovable little guy is also looking for someone to help him on his weight-loss journey so he can feel his best and stay healthy. A fenced yard is preferred for safe outdoor time and exercise, though it’s not required if he gets regular walks and activity. Like most Dachshunds as they age, Elliot is having a harder time handling stairs and will need a lift up and down. Underneath it all, Elliot is a loyal companion who simply wants a peaceful home, gentle affection, and a person to call his own. If you’re looking for a devoted little shadow to share quiet days and cozy evenings with, Elliot may be your perfect match.
