About Elvis

Meet Elvis! This sweet boy is looking for a patient family that will allow him to settle in at his own pace. He can be a bit timid, especially around strangers and younger children, so if there are kids in the home, they should be at least 12 years old and present during the initial meeting. Elvis would thrive best in a calm home without too much activity or many visitors. If there are other dogs, a meet-and-greet at the facility is required to ensure they're a good match. Once he feels safe, his playful side shines through—he enjoys playing catch and going for car rides. Neutered and vaccinated, Elvis is crate trained and ready to find a loyal companion! This pet also requires a virtual behavior consultation to help with his shyness and dog-reactive tendencies. Click apply to start the adoption process.
