About Elvis

Meet Elvis, a lovable 11-year-old Chihuahua who’s recently joined Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue. This tiny senior has a big personality and is looking for a caring home that can support him in his golden years. Although he doesn't get along with children, he enjoys the company of small dogs after a proper introduction. Elvis has some medical needs that must be addressed, including the need for neutering and treatment for a luxating patella, which affects his knee. His journey to comfort and stability is important, and your support can make a difference. If you’re looking to welcome a furry friend into your life and can help him through his recovery, Elvis might be the perfect match. Adoption will be possible once he is neutered, and his adoption fee is $300. Remember, Elvis isn't available for transport, so he needs to be located in the Raleigh area. Your new best friend is waiting for you!
