Hello, I'm Elio. I was brought into the county shelter as a stray before coming to VOCAL. I can be a bit shy and nervous with new people, so I definitely need a person with patience who can help bring me out of my shell. However, I act like a different dog when I'm around other dogs! I love to play with dogs and being around them helps boost my confidence greatly. One other thing about me is that I love to chew on toys! Even though I can make a bit of a mess, I sure have a good time while doing it! Don't blame a guy for having fun!
