This little heartthrob is ready to steal the show—and your lap! Elvis is a 1-year-old, ~10 lb Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix (best guess!) with a gentle soul and a whole lot of love to give.

Elvis is as sweet as they come. His favorite place in the world? Curled up in your lap, soaking up all the affection he can get. He’s a total cuddlebug who thrives on human connection and will happily be your constant companion.
