Elijah is a 4-month-old hound mix who came into the world at a city shelter and is now ready to start his real life. At 16 pounds now, he should top out around 35 pounds as an adult, making him a manageable size for most homes. His smooth, short black and cream coat is easy to care for. He keeps busy playing with toys, hanging out with his dog foster siblings, and joining his 4-year-old human sister for plenty of fun—that puppy energy shows up often, always in a goofy, sweet way. Elijah is almost completely house trained and picks up new routines quickly. He’s friendly with everyone he meets and enjoys being where the action is. He’s fully vetted, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. For those curious about sun signs: Elijah is an Aquarius—think energetic, social, and a little bit quirky.
