Story
Meet Elfee, a sweet 13 lb, 8-year-old Maltipoo who is ready for a fresh start.
Sadly, Elfee spent three days in a lady’s backyard after being attacked on the streets of Watts. He had no collar or tag. A good Samaritan took him in and searched for his owner, but no one came forward. Shelter Hope heard his story and, after his stray hold was complete, welcomed him into our care to help him find the loving home he truly deserves.
Despite everything he’s been through, Elfee is a super sweet, easygoing gentle guy who lights up whenever he gets attention. He’s very dirty from his ordeal and has some puncture wounds on his back, likely from a coyote or another dog. At his recent vet check, they discovered he has a grade 6 heart murmur, but it doesn’t stop him from enjoying cuddles, gentle play, and affection.
Fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, Elfee is looking for his forever home!
