About Elliot

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.

Ideal Home

Elliot would thrive in a calm and quiet home. He does best with women and older children who understand his gentle nature. He gets along with cats but may prefer to be the only dog. He is nervous during loud noises and storms and will need a patient family to provide reassurance.

Ongoing Health

Elliot is on a weight-loss journey and would benefit from a family committed to helping him stay healthy. As he ages, he has difficulty with stairs and will need assistance going up and down.

Elliot may need support with his weight-loss journey. Otherwise, he is a loyal companion looking for gentle affection.
