Meet Elijah

Meet Elijah: Your Potential Special Companion with a Heart of Gold!
Elijah's journey began as a stray in southern Colorado, but he's on a quest to find his forever home where he can share his love, loyalty, and unique charm. Here's a bit about this special pup:
Adventurous Spirit: Elijah absolutely adores car rides! Whether it's a scenic drive through the countryside or a quick run to the store, he's your perfect co-pilot.
Couch Potato and Bed Buddy: When he's not exploring the world, Elijah loves nothing more than snuggling up next to his favorite person on the couch or bed. He's the ultimate cuddle companion!
Playful and Social: Elijah has a playful side and enjoys interacting with other dogs. He's especially good at keeping the puppies in his foster care in check. His best friend is a lovely female lab/husky mix.
Unique Tastes: Elijah can be a bit picky with his food, but he's an absolute water enthusiast! His water bowl should always be kept full to quench his thirst.
Special Needs: Elijah is considered a special needs dog due to a unique condition – he only has 1/3 of his tongue, and it's not a congenital defect. Here are some important considerations for adopting a dog with a partial tongue:
Health and Medical Needs: Consult with a veterinarian to understand the specific medical condition and any potential health implications. Some dogs with partial tongues may require special care for eating, drinking, and regulating body temperature. Be prepared to manage any medical needs that may arise.

Dental Care: Dogs with partial tongues may have difficulty maintaining oral hygiene, leading to dental issues. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings will be essential for his oral health.

The Reward of Love and Cuddles: If you're willing to make the small adjustments needed to accommodate Elijah's unique needs, you'll be rewarded with a velcro dog who adores being held and cuddled. Elijah will stick his front legs in the air when he wants to be picked up.

If you think you can provide Elijah with the loving home he deserves, please consider adopting him. Together, you can embark on a special journey filled with love, companionship, and unforgettable moments.
