Meet Elliot, an adventurous and playful pup looking for an active home where he can learn, play, and grow!
Personality and Temperament
Elliot is bold, curious, and full of personality. He’s always alert to what’s happening around him—especially if there’s a squirrel or bird nearby. He enjoys being near his people and is learning to relax more during downtime. Elliot loves praise, is very food-motivated, and responds well to consistent training. Elliot is crate-trained and settles well when left alone
Exercise and Activity Requirements
Elliot is an energetic, athletic dog who thrives on daily activity. He enjoys a 2-mile walk each morning, plenty of yard play, and short bursts of high-energy fun like wrestling and chasing the flirt pole. He also loves using his nose for scent games and tracking. Elliot does best with both physical and mental enrichment and would make a great companion for an active person or family who enjoys outdoor adventures.
Other Dogs and Animals
Elliot has been making good progress with his social skills around other dogs. He’s generally neutral after the initial excitement and settles quickly once given space. In tighter situations, he may give a small warning to communicate his boundaries. Elliot could live with a well-matched, respectful dog, but due to his high prey drive, a home without small animals would be best.
Training
Elliot has been working on his basic cues like sit and down and even picked up a few tricks such as spin. He recently tried bikejoring and did great—showing how much he enjoys having a job and staying active.
The Ideal Home for Elliot
Elliot would do best with an active adopter who enjoys keeping their dog physically and mentally engaged. He’d be a great fit for someone experienced with energetic breeds and committed to positive training. He’ll benefit from an adopter who can help him continue building confidence around other dogs. A home without small animals is best.
Our adoption process begins with our adoption questionnaire: https://norcalgsprescue.org/adoption-questionnaire/
(Please note that we adopt primarily within Northern California and our minimum age for kids is 6)
If you'd like to see what Elliot's been up to, check out his posting in the Available Foster Dogs section: https://norcalgsprescue.org/available-dogs/. That's where you'll find all the latest info about all of our available dogs.

Interview
We’ll get in touch and set up a phone call to further discuss your application and what you are looking for in a GSP companion.
Interview
If a GSP is identified as a potential match, we will put you in contact with the foster home so you can have a more detailed discussion.
Meet the Pet
If the foster home and you agree that the dog continues to appear to be a good match, you will schedule a visit to meet the dog.
Home Check
If after meeting the dog, everyone agrees he/she is a good fit for your family, we will schedule a home visit.
Sign Adoption Contract
Once the home visit is completed and you are approved, we will ask you to complete an adoption agreement.
Pay Fee
These monies help to defray some of the medical and other costs we incur while the dog is in our care. Pay online with your credit card.
