Meet ELTON (LOCAL)

Elton is an adorable 9 year old chihuahua boy who has a typical little boy chi personality - really doesn't love children and cats; can stand dogs if he has too but would prefer to not have too if he has his way. The underbite is truly his best feature and in person it's hilarious to see. He's all of 8 lbs and long-legged with a very cute tail. He obviously thinks he's part cat however as he loves the backs of chairs. He has been known to jump up on a chair to get to his eventual destination, the kitchen table so be careful of what you leave there....he's obviously able to carry 3X his own weight [see movie]. !!! :)

This is a PERFECT dog for anyone looking for a pal. He's not hardy so he won't go hiking in winter but in nice weather he can keep up with the best of them; he is content to watch TV and when he wants to snuggle he will literally almost wrap himself around your neck. Chaos is not this dog's friend - he does not do well in it so please, if you have a busy household, check out one of our other wonderful dogs - this guy wants peace and quiet. LOVES LOVES LOVES riding in the car. We are working on his housetraining and it's coming along. He is crate trained and doesn't mind his crate at all. He's up to date on his vaccinations and he's neutered.

Elton's story and his road to the happy-ever-after life that he deserves started one morning a few months ago when he wandered through the front door of an old country church out in the middle of nowhere just in time for the Wednesday night sermon. He made his way through the legs of all the people in the crowd and found him a spot on the front pew, where he very quietly listened to most of the sermon between his cat naps.
