Elote is a 7-year-old neutered male German Shepherd mix who is currently looking for a family at the Sacramento City animal shelter. Well-mannered and eager to please, he will light up when you pick up a ball—fetch is his favorite game, and few things make him happier than bouncing around after a toss. Elote thrives on human attention, enjoying pets and affection, always ready to be close by. He is known for his intelligence and has picked up good leash manners and basic commands, sitting calmly and politely for treats. Elote gets along well with other dogs and, with proper introduction, should make a good sibling for another canine. He's also friendly with children and brings a playful, affectionate presence to any home. While he’s demonstrated plenty of potential, his time is limited at the shelter due to overcrowding. Elote needs a committed adopter or foster as soon as possible to step in and give him his second chance. Give this loyal, energetic dog the home he deserves. Start your journey together! Apply now.
