My story

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

Elwood is available for adoption or foster. He needs time to adjust to a new schedule, home, etc. He is super friendly and a cuddle bug. He is about 3 to 4 years old, weighs 8 pounds, is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. We have no history on him other than someone was selling him on the side of the road with other dogs and a good samaritan stopped and bought him. It turns out he had an unregistered microchip but we were unable to track it back to a possible owner, in case Elwood had been stolen. Thanks to Mel Elwood was saved. Mel reached out to us she was unable to keep him because Elwood and her other dog were not really getting along. She was not able to continue to foster him. He then went to Gaylynn and the next day he was adopted, now returned.



He has gone to 4 different places in 2 weeks of course he's confused with where to potty.
