Whippet and Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Elvis, and I am from Georgia!

I bet you are wondering how I ended up here, me too because my Foster Mom says I am the best boy ever! My name is Elvis, but my people call me wiggle butt, Elvie, buddy, and some time No No, especially when I have a people shoe in my mouth.

I am a happy boy, I love to run the yard, play with stuffed toys, chew on a tasty bone, and cuddle on the couch. I sleep in my crate at night, and I am very patient to be let out and don't bark.

I love to walk on my leash exploring the big outdoors. I am curious when I see people, dogs and cats but I don't chase or bark, I stay right by my people side. I have learned to sit for a treat, and we are working on other commands.

Elvis is learning from our resident dog and would be great with a family with other dogs or being the only dog. House Training is going very well as he is a very smart boy.

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.

The Whippet is a sleek and graceful breed known for its agility and speed, with origins dating back to Victorian England. These affectionate and gentle dogs make excellent companions for families and individuals alike, excelling in various activities such as lure coursing and obedience training. With their slender build and short coat, Whippets are low maintenance when it comes to grooming but require regular exercise to keep them healthy and happy.
