Eleanor - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Derry, New Hampshire

All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step.
Eleanor is an approximately 2-year-old spayed Dachshund with a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. Found alone and frightened on a rail trail, Eleanor has come a long way and is learning that people can be kind and caring.

She can be shy when meeting new people and animals, but once she feels safe, she bonds quickly and becomes the ultimate companion. Eleanor loves nothing more than curling up in a lap for snuggles and affection. She also enjoys playing with her favorite balls and spending time with her people.

Eleanor gets along well with both cats and dogs. Because she is sensitive and thrives on companionship, she is looking for a calm home without children and with someone who is home most of the day or can provide plenty of human interaction and companionship. She will reward your patience and love with endless devotion, cuddles, and loyalty.

If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate best friend, Eleanor may be the perfect match for you!
