Elvira's Story

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾<br/><br/>Elvira is about 2 years old, around 14 pounds, and has the energy and silliness of a puppy. She LOVES toys, sunbathing, cuddling, and being close to her people. She’s truly happiest when she’s near her person and would likely thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not — maybe someone retired, working from home, or simply looking for a constant little companion. ❤️<br/><br/>🐕 Housebroken and crate trained<br/>🐕 Up to date on vetting<br/>🐕 No known health concerns<br/>🐕 Good with cats<br/>🐕 Loves to cuddle and give kisses<br/>🐕 Smart, eager to please, and thrives for guidance<br/>🐕 Needs a fenced yard<br/>🐕 No apartments/shared-wall housing<br/><br/>Elvira can live with another dog, but she would do best with a confident companion that won’t let her push boundaries. She does resource guard with other dogs, though she has never shown any guarding behaviors toward people. In her foster home, she does best with dogs that have a little more confidence and structure.<br/><br/>She may need a few days to settle in with another resident dog, but overall she has integrated into foster care very well and has been one of the easier foster dogs to bring into a home.<br/><br/>Elvira’s story started in Mexico, where she was found living on the streets while heavily pregnant. She was taken in, gave birth to six puppies, and is ready for a fresh start. It’s finally her turn to find the loving forever home she deserves. 🖤<br/><br/>Please share to help Elvira find her people!<br/><br/>📩 Questions?

Until then, however, it must be charged.<br/><br/>- Please note that we do not have a shelter, and all dogs are in foster homes.
