Story
🌟 Meet Elbie! 🌟
Elbie is a 14 lb, 6-year-old fun-sized ball of mischief and love. We’re guessing Pekingese/Dachshund, but honestly, he’s just 100% Elbie.
💖 Elbie’s Favorite Things:
People (he’s never met a stranger!)
Playtime with other dogs
Snacks, treats, and ALL the food
Benebones and toys
Short naps (upside down for max cuteness)
Belly rubs on demand
✨ The Important Stuff:
Crates – He does better when left alone, but if you’re home, he thinks he should be out with you
Leash – Doing much better!
House manners – He knows them and does well
Personality – If you give him an inch, he’ll take a mile 😉 He will need structure and leadership in his home
🐕 Good with: All people + dogs his size and up for play
🐾 Not good with: Cats or anything that runs—he’s a chaser
🚪 Door dasher alert: Working on “wait,” but for now, watch those doors!
👨👩👧 Kids: Best with older, respectful kids
🏡 Elbie’s Perfect Family: A home with playful dogs his size and/or older kids, and someone around often—or willing to maintain his routine and structure. He thrives with clear expectations and consistency.
If you’re looking for a pup who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and cuddle up after playtime—Elbie’s your guy.

Please note:
The dog you're applying for might already have a meet-and-greet scheduled, be on a trial with another family, or has been offered to another rescue within our network Don't worry though - we're always happy to help you find another great match if that happens! Our goal is to make sure every pup ends up in the best home for their needs (and yours too!)
