Elwood - Adopted Wirehaired Terrier & Beagle Mix Northville, MI

Arrival story: Elwood arrived as a stray and his people could not be located.

Approximate age / weight: Approx 5 years old and 30lbs.

Personality: Elwood is a pretty laid back little dude. He loves getting attention from and being near people. He does like to explore outdoors and may wander off if left to his own devices but inside he mostly likes to snuggle. Elwood is good with and tolerates other dogs but he isn’t interested in playing with them however every now and he will do an air twirl and play bow. He usually is not interested in toys but every now and then he will do an air twirl and a play bow at a toy as well. He can be very silly when the mood strikes him. He truly loves the company of humans and is content to snuggle or lay at your feet with a good chew bone.

Elwood has good house manners, is house-trained and does enjoy hopping on the couch for a nap. He isn’t fond of being crated. He is good at the vet’s office and enjoys riding in the car.

Forever home: Elwood is looking for a best friend or two… he really wants to be with humans, so a family where someone is home a lot would suit him perfectly. Elwood will not live in harmony with cats so a home without cats is ideal. He'd do best in an adult household or a household with older children.

We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the dates of our next adoption events. To meet a dog in person, please see our event calendar for the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).
Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.
Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
