About Elliot

Elliot is a tender soul looking for a calm and patient home. Rescued along with his mama dog, Simone, and seven siblings from the freezing conditions of the San Carlos Reservation, he’s shy but filled with potential. Most of his siblings have found their forever homes, but Elliot still waits for his special match. This brindle beauty, with a short coat and gentle demeanor, would thrive in a quiet environment where he can take his time to adjust. He’s not yet comfortable with petting or even the camera, but with the right caretaker, he’s sure to blossom. Since he’s young at just over five years old, he brings a playful spirit that will shine once he feels secure. Elliot is altered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and house trained. He needs a home without other dogs and children. Included in the adoption are spay/neuter, vaccinations, a microchip, a food sample, and a collar. If you feel you can offer him the patience and love he craves, he could be the diamond you are looking for. Start your journey together! Apply now.
