Elwood is a stout dude who's ready to party! He seems to be very housetrained and goes potty right away when he goes outside. He loves to play with toys and has quite the impressive leap considering his low-rider size! Be warned, stuffies will be destroyed if he has anything to say about it! Tough rubber squeakies and rope toys are the best bet for this guy. Elwood also loves getting booty scratches and tumbles to the ground in joy when receiving them. With a little help from his peanut butter spoon, he remembers to keep his paws on the ground. Elwood would love to meet you!

Story
Shelter celebrity Tiny Pickles (Mr. T. Pickles when he's being fancy) is a fantastic boy. You can sometimes find him taking a snooze behind the front desk or going on leisurely strolls around the building. Pickles has met a few cats and doesn't think much of them either way. He's been a gentle goof in playgroup with his dog friends, so he prefers playing in a calm and relaxed group. He seems to really enjoy playing with female dogs, so he may be a real ""ladies man"". Tiny Pickle loves to stare longingly into your eyes, get his ears rubbed, and make cute little doggy snores and snorts. He is a staff favorite who wants all the love he can get, so we can't wait to send him home with a lovely new owner/family!

Story
Greetings everyone! My name is Leanna and I found myself as a stray after a short wanderlust phase. Life on the road was harsh, as I became quite skinny and badly sunburned on my nose. I found myself in a noisy shelter for 4 months--living in a crate in a hallway and eventually on the euthanasia list. Yikes! But, my story of neglect and trauma did not break my spirit! My foster mom tells me I have a heart of gold and will be a loyal partner for a lifetime! I am around 5 years old and 50 pounds. I like to play with non-pushy dogs, but I need a little warm-up to pups without boundaries. I am a shy girl who needs someone to understand that not everyone wants a stranger in their face because, quite frankly, it can be scary. I need time to make choices about how I want to introduce myself. Don’t most humans do this already?! I’d prefer no kids because they usually don’t have the attention span I need for them to read my energy. I’m a girl with big boundaries and I cannot be rushed to accept you. But, once I do I’ll gladly show you my belly or lay at the foot of your bed if you find this agreeable! Did you say sit or shake? Gladly!! Just give me a tasty treat as a reward-I even love dog-friendly fruits and veggies!! My foster mom says that spinach helps me zoom around the backyard and right over the 4 ft fence if she’s not watching…Is that bad?! I consider myself quite the athlete and love routine exercise because it makes me a happier pet baby! I’d love a patient and understanding dog parent to bring out the best version of myself. Don’t we all want this in life?!

These pups are in Columbus, Indiana too!
