About Slinky fka Eli

Meet Slinky, formerly known as Eli. This sweet, laid-back dachshund mix is around 7-8 years old and is looking for his forever home. He arrived from an overcrowded shelter where a caring foster family helped him regain his health. Now, he's a happy, loving companion who has fully embraced life in his current foster home. Slinky is housebroken and walks beautifully on a leash. He knows his basic commands and has excellent house manners. This little guy loves being near his people, and he enjoys attention, belly rubs, and snuggling up on cozy dog beds. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats, and he's crate trained too. With his affectionate and easygoing personality, Slinky is eager to please. He deserves a family that will love him as much as his foster family does. If you're ready to welcome an amazing companion into your home, apply to adopt him today!
