Story
Meet Elbie 🐾
Elbie is 15 pounds of fun-sized personality! At around 6–7 years old, this adorable little guy is our best guess at a Pekingese/Dachshund mix, and whatever mix he is… it made one seriously cute dog.
Elbie has never met a stranger. He loves people, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is always ready for a snack (food is definitely the way to his heart). When he’s not playing, he likes to take short naps to recharge — often upside down like he doesn’t have a care in the world.
One of Elbie’s funniest habits is that he’ll run in front of you and flop over for belly rubs, just in case you forgot he deserves them. He also has a sweet little white blaze on his chest and a tiny white spot on one paw that make him extra charming.
Elbie enjoys playtime with dogs his size, treats, toys, and Benebones (puppy size are his favorite). He would do great in a home with other small dogs and/or kids who want a playful little buddy.
Elbie does well crated overnight and when his people leave, though he may let you know he’d rather be part of the action if you’re home. Because he’s a curious little guy who likes to explore and occasionally chew on things he shouldn’t, crating when unsupervised keeps him safe and out of trouble.
A securely fenced yard is important for him, and because he likes to chase things that run, Elbie needs a home with no cats.
His best qualities are easy to see — cuddly, playful, mischievous in a fun way, and incredibly cute. He’s the kind of dog that will make you laugh every day and keep life interesting.
And if you ever catch him sleeping on his back with his little paws in the air, just know he’s completely comfortable and living his best life. ❤️
