Story
Elijah was transferred to BMAR from Hot Paws after being retrieved from Mexia Kill Shelter in 2022. He was just a puppy and found himself in dire straits. Elijah was a typical happy go lucky puppy full of fun and he was adopted immediately,Fast forward to 4 years later and his adopter had to relocate and returned Elijah to our rescue.During the 4 years at the adopters, Elijah lived a solitary life. He has become dog selective which means he gets along with some dogs and not others. He is definitely people selective. He chooses to belong to one person and then guards that person from everyone else....including their spouse!At this time, we think a home without other dogs (unless a meet and greet can determine otherwise) and certainly no kids at all would be the goal for Elijah. Perhaps a single parent home that is quieter and has lots of attention to give a boy that needs a new lease on life is preferable.Elijah had full dental recently, his teeth were cleaned and a few extracted....his little cute tongue sticks out the front!He has never been aggressive at his current fosters and spends time at the front desk with a pair of small companions. He keeps everyone company and has a good snooze beside his friends. He doesn't hear well....and we think his former aggressive tendencies towards other people stems from that. If he is laying by his chosen person, it may startle him for someone to plop down beside him or reach for him from a side or back that he doesn't see - his lack of hearing plays a big part in that.All in all...he's an adorable little guy that really deserves a chance at a great understanding home.....he will make a great companion and fill someone's day with good company.
