Elroy's Story

Meet Elroy. Elroy has a back ground that horrors are made of. Elroy was owned by a horrible human. Whom lived literally miles from anyone or anything. At the bottom of a valley/canyon in the desert. He would go on to abandon this boy for periods of a month at a time. Each time dumping out scraps and a bag of food each month and filling two 5 gallon buckets of water then leaving him chained inside a fence made of crates. He was chained with a heavy logging chain with a lock on it. After 6 plus months of this he stopped returning. He left the state some that new of him said he went to Mexico and others said they had no clue. <br/>What we knew was that we were alerted from a person who heard from a person so forth and so on that heard it from another that this place was abandoned with animals and they were starving to death but you can not drive it because it had been over grown for months with horrible brush etc,, and it had always taken a four wheel to even get down the road at best then you had to walk. It was very off the path hellhole. We went searching. Took two trips to locate it and what we found was shattering and heartbreaking. How this boy was alive was beyond our understanding. We knew we needed to act immediate or he would be dead in hours. He was scared to death and had grown possessive and scared and was not touchable. But we were not going to allow that to stop our efforts to save this boy. <br/>By this time we had already learned that the owner had been highly abusive to this boy and was violent person. So we would work tirelessly and quickly to get him out and away. <br/>We have come mountains. In those first few weeks he stayed at the hospital and boarding facility and had needed emergency care and meds and treated for tick borne illness and vaccinated and while there they attempted to work with him and they made little process with his fear. He had a trainer come and work with him for two weeks but Elroy just did not want to trust. We felt it was time to bring him here into the rescue. He was so scared of people and had not any trust of men. <br/>It was like a switch flipped after the first 4 days. He went from not wanting me to touch him until him trusting me and allowing me to do anything with him and him just craving his belly rubs and his time with walks and outside sunshine and love time. <br/>He has been fully vetted now and he did have a old injury surgically fixed on his foot. But he is now looking for a home of his own for life. <br/>I would love to find a home for Elroy that is an only dog home. I do think in time he could possibly be okay with another dog likely a female that is his size and very submissive and though I think he would always need to be fed away from other animals. But right now I think he needs a home where he can be the center of someones world. I think in time a home with a male is good but I would love to find him a home with a single female that has dog experience. A home where he would be the center of your world. <br/>He does have accidents if he has to wait to long to go outside. SO I can not promise that he would not in a new home that he would not have any at first. He would be good to kennel when leaving the house in the beginning. Just until he feels safe and secure in a new home. <br/>I am hoping his human is out there. If you could be his human and his forever home please reach out to us. <br/>You will need to complete an application but to the right home his adoption fee will be waved. <br/>Elroy is aprox 3-4 yrs old fully vetted.
