Elvis's Story

Elvis is an adorable 35-pound terrier-Chihuahua mix with a big personality! Though he's not a "Hound Dog" and he can't sing like his famous namesake, he certainly knows how to shake his hips and charm everyone he meets!<br/><br/>Elvis is a very healthy boy, just under 4 years old. He spent over a year in a home, but after being mishandled, he became reactive and was "Returned to Sender" (aka - returned to Red Barn Rescue). Since then, we’ve been carefully rebuilding his trust — and now he is happy to be a lap dog and is gentle and "Love Me Tender" affectionate again.<br/><br/>Elvis goes on two walks a day, which he absolutely loves, enjoys outings and road trips with Red Barn volunteers — a true "Good Luck Charm" on any adventure! He gets along well with smaller dogs but may feel overwhelmed by large, active dogs.<br/><br/>Because of his past experience, Elvis needs an experience owner and handler who will give him time to trust and feel secure during the transition to a new home. "Don't Be Cruel"! He needs an all adult home, as kids probably wouldn't see the nervousness disguised by his cute exterior. <br/><br/>Elvis would enjoy having a fenced yard to explore, sniff and run some zoomies, but he would also do well without one as long as his adopter is committed to providing nice, lengthy daily walks.<br/><br/>We know Elvis’s perfect match is out there! He deserves a true forever home, and he is ready to meet and charm you! We know that you just "Can't Help Falling in Love" with Elvis!<br/><br/>"Are You Lonesome Tonight?" If so, apply at redbarnrescue.com to meet Elvis! <br/><br/><Insert Elvis lip curl here...> Thank you. Thank you very much.

Red Barn Rescue's Adoption Policy
All dogs in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated (including Rabies when age-appropriate), heartworm tested, and kept on heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Many dogs also receive dental care, heartworm treatment, or other medical procedures as needed. Prospective adopters must complete an adoption application and receive approval before meeting a dog. Applicants must list all current pets, and those pets must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. A home visit may be required as part of our approval process. Once approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet with your family, including current dogs. Adopters are responsible for ongoing veterinary care, keeping their pets up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and maintaining a safe, responsible home. If you are looking for a specific type or breed, you may submit an application and note your preferences for future consideration. Our adoption fee reflects the medical care and resources invested in preparing each dog for a healthy start. If an adopter can no longer care for their dog, the dog must be returned to Red Barn Rescue as stated in our contract.
