Meet Elephant, the charming Shih Tzu mix who is on his way to brighter days! 🐾 This sweet neutered male, around 8 years old, has seen some tough times, but don't let that fool you—he's got a heart full of love just waiting to share. Prior to being rescued, Elephant experienced neglect like he was a mere afterthought, but now he’s receiving the care he’s long deserved. With some love and attention, this lovable guy is bouncing back! He's currently getting eye and ear treatments and feels like a new pup already! 🌟 Elephant is looking for a special someone who truly understands the needs of his breed. Imagine a cozy afternoon snuggling with your new best friend, offering him the affection he craves and the pampering he has always deserved. Elephant dreamt of this day, and now it's time for him to live it! He can't wait to become a cherished member of a loving home, so he never has to feel neglected again. ❤️ However, a little heads-up: he’s hoping to find a home without young children and prefers to be around adults who can shower him with the gentle care he requires. Also, his new friends should live within an hour’s drive of Albany, NY, to keep those visits easy and sweet! So, let's make this happen for Elephant!
