Story
ELROYIs a very sweet little boy that loves pets and all the attention you can give him. Just as unusual as his looks, is that he is not a fan of going on walks. He`ll actually stop and want to be picked up. Silly boy. He has shown interest in meeting other dogs. He`d love a home that isn`t expecting him to be a hiking or running buddy. He`s more the chill life vibe. Young Elroy currently weighs in at 25lbs.If you`re interested in meeting this adoptable animal, please visit https://humboldtgov.org/2658/Animal-Shelter and fill out an application to be pre-approved to make an appointment.
