About Elvis

Meet Elvis, a three-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at eight pounds, with a heart full of love and a truly sweet personality. He might be a tad shy at first, but once he feels at home, he becomes your loyal companion in no time. Elvis thrives on your presence, whether he’s snuggled next to you or using your lap as a cozy pillow. This little guy has perfected the art of cuddling and is a serious fan of delicious snacks—food is clearly his love language. He’s got a playful side, often breaking into zoomies, and relishes being carried in a doggy bag like royalty. He’s friendly with people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him an ideal addition for families with furry friends. While he’d love a canine companion to share nap time, he’s also content soaking up attention on his own. He’s a bright little fellow, already mastering commands like sit and stand, and while he’s not yet housetrained, he’s showing progress and growing more confident on walks. His foster family can't say enough great things about him, stating, "Elvis has so much love to give, and we can’t wait for him to find the family who gets to experience it every day!" Elvis has previously tested positive for heartworm but has since received treatment and is ready for adoption. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
