Elijah is from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia, where he would have had a slim chance of being adopted, through The Shelter Connection’s rescue program. Elijah came to us very shy and shut down, but over the last couple of weeks has blossomed into a sweet and affectionate boy- we are even seeing the beginnings of playful! We have learned that he loves to be pet/ snuggled, he likes going for walks on our nature trail, and he loves the company of other dogs. So far, we’ve seen him the most relaxed when playing with another dog! Elijah is a bit sound sensitive, so we are recommending him either for an adult home only or a home with children ages 13+. If you are interested in learning more about Elijah, please call the shelter at 516-869-6311.

**Reminder- we are facilitating adoptions by appointment ONLY. If you arrive at the shelter without an appointment, we will be unable to assist you. Please call the shelter during business hours to make an appointment.***
