About Elvis

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Elvis is a distinctively handsome, medium-sized dog searching for a calm and understanding forever home. Born on June 10th, Elvis falls under the sign of Gemini—meaning he may have a gentle, inquisitive side just waiting to shine for the right person. Elvis is quite shy at first and needs patience to gain trust, but with time, you'll find a wonderfully loyal companion. He gets very nervous around children and would be happiest in an adult-only home. His mother was a tiny basset/beagle mix, and Elvis himself blends basset hound, beagle, and blue heeler, noted for his charmingly shorter ears and his best friendship with Wolfie. Elvis is heartworm negative, currently on prevention for fleas and heartworm, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered. His short tricolor coat is easy to care for, and he is house trained. Elvis truly needs a special, loving adopter ready to give him the time and understanding he deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
