Elliot is a special dog. While he is small in stature, he is large in personality. Elliot loves to play and bounce around, but after a few minutes, he really wants a lap to snuggle on.
Elliot has a small cleft lip that is purely cosmetic. He eats well and has no complaints. We think it makes him even more beautiful.
Elliot also has hydrocephalus. This does not slow him down a bit. He runs and plays and does not know there is anything different about him. At this time no treatment is ongoing. Surgery has not been recommended by his vet, and he is not on any medications.
Elliot is estimated to be 1 year old and 5 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.
If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.
We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!
Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/
You do not need to have a Facebook account to check the Safe Hands Facebook page for attendance. We hope to see you at an upcoming Meet & Greet!
Saturday, February 14, 11:00am-1:00pm, Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative, 1712 Marshall St. NE Mpls, Ste. 100 https://www.facebook.com/events/874130971620133
Saturday, February 21, 12:00-2:00pm, Forgotten Star Brewing, 38 Northern Stacks Drive, Fridley https://www.facebook.com/events/1406567791037135Elliot has a medical condition called hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. Life expectancy for dogs with hydrocephalus depends on several factors, including how severe symptoms are. Elliot tilts his head slightly to the right and intermittently holds up his back legs or hops while he's running. Although these symptoms don't slow this boy down - he still loves to play, prance, and run around. What we don't know is if these symptoms will remain the same or become more severe as he grows.
Right now, he is a happy, playful puppy who enjoys everything a typical puppy enjoys. Elliot deserves a special person to call his own, We are hoping to find a home willing to adopt Elliot and love him through whatever comes next. In turn, you will be rewarded with the happiest companion who is a true inspiration of living life to the fullest. If you think that might be you, or you want to learn more, please fill out an application today!

We only adopt out animals to homes within 60 miles of the Twin Cities. Our adoption process begins with the return of our pre-adoption form, available on our website. After reviewing your application a meeting is scheduled between you and the pup, sometimes in the fosters home or at a neutral dog friendly place. If any resident dogs are in your home, it is recommended that the pups meet at this time. After the meeting a home visit is scheduled and if everything goes well with the visit the adoption is finalized at that time. A home visit by one of Safe Hands representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pup will be living sometime during the adoption process.

More about this rescue
Safe Hands is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs in high kill shelters. Of great importance to us is to reduce the stray population and need for healthy animal euthanasia through spay/neuter programs, education, and promotion of respect for the furry creatures that share our lives.
We are a small, no-kill, volunteer run organization. All of our dogs listed are in foster homes waiting to be adopted and because of this, we get to know the dogs' personalities very well and use this information to match them to an appropriate home. We do not have a physical shelter.
This rescue is not funded by public funds nor does it receive many donations so it is dependent on adoption fees to keep operating. We have a great need for foster homes. If you are interested in providing foster care, and live within an hour of the Twin Cities, please e-mail us
Donations ALWAYS needed are: dog crates, puppy pee pads, natures miracle (for pet stain removal), Nutrisource brand puppy and dog food, Lysol disinfecting wipes, paper towels, large clean towels, dog toys, leashes, collars and gas cards to help with our transports.
