My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Elliot, the lovable explorer! This sweet boy is always up for checking out new places and has a knack for finding interesting spots. While he can be a bit unsure sometimes, a few treats and some encouragement are all he needs to face any challenge.

Elliot is a staff favorite for a bunch of reasons - he's not just adorable, but he's also a total water enthusiast. You can catch him happily splashing around in puddles, and his infectious joy is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. What's even more endearing is his charming little howl that escapes him when excitement takes over. It's the kind of sound that tugs at your heartstrings and makes you appreciate the simple, delightful moments of life.

Despite his outgoing nature and these charming quirks, Elliot does have a bit of a particular side. His boundless enthusiasm can sometimes overshadow his introverted tendencies. He is a homebody at heart and does best when he has time and space to decompress from the business of the world. He would do best in a home with an experienced dog owner who can hold him accountable and remind him of what he needs!

As part of our Patient Paws special, Elliot's adoption fee will be waived.
