My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Elvis was found as a stray at about 8 months old, very emaciated and scared. With some love and patience, Elvis is a happy, fun loving cuddle bug today. He has high energy and is always up to playing with squeaky toys or go on walks. At first, Elvis tries to dodge his harness, but with a treat he is all ears.

Elvis tends to have a strong whimper cry when he sees other dogs at times. Elvis barks at new people too but he is just a bit scared and shy, and eventually warms up. He loves all the pets and belly rubs. He is currently in a foster home with 2 female dogs. He seems to get along with them well and loves to play tug with them.

Elvis knows a few tricks as well such as sit, lay down, paw, and roll over. He can also go inside his crate if you say, "crate. Elvis also hits a little bell to go outside. We are trying to have him use it for "potty but sometimes he just wants to go out and play. He is also working on "stay.

Elvis is very food motivated and loves carrots. He is neutered. This boy is looking for his furever home! Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to meet him.
