Meet Elliot!
Elliot is a sweet old soul in a younger body.
He is low key, a total cuddle bug, ready to cozy up in your lap and snooze.
Elliot gets along with all dogs big and small and likes to cuddle with them as well.
Cats are unknown, but confident he would get along well with them.
He would benefit from another dog in the home to help boost his confidence, although this is not a requirement by any means.
He is quiet with spurts of energy in the morning and excited when you wake up and will sprint around, then settles right back down. The outside world is still very new to him, a fenced yard would be preferable because he is still getting used to a leash and will freeze every few steps.
He can be shy at first but warms up quickly, he doesn't have a mean bone in his body and enjoys being picked up and held like a baby.
Because of his shy demeanor and small size he should be in a home with children who respect his shy nature he loves being babied and doted on
He truly is such a gem and an amazing companion.
If you're looking for a loyal little companion who will stick to you like glue, Elliott is ready to fill your home-and your lap-with love.
