Elliot's Story

Meet Elliot, a gentle chihuahua mix who is looking for a calm and understanding home. He is a shy boy and slow to warm up, but with a steady routine, patience, and plenty of love, he blossoms into the sweetest companion. Elliot prefers a home with adults only since kids can be a bit overwhelming for him.<br/><br/>Elliot would also love to have another dog in the home to help boost his confidence. He does have some flight risk tendencies, so a secure environment is important. Once he feels safe, he enjoys relaxing, lounging around, and simply being near his people. His foster parents say he is improving every day as he learns to trust, and he is ready to continue that journey with a family who sees how special he truly is.
