Meet Elliott, can you believe this little face? So cute, right? We are in love with this little fluff ball. He is a healthy and happy 3 month old little Guy who weighs in at a whopping 6.9 lbs !!!! We think his adult weight could be 18-35 lbs, but please note, that is not a guarantee of weight at all, he was surrendered with no information on parentage. He is a very smart little guy, he is learning new things everyday, he knows how to navigate puppy stairs and out to the back yard down 3 steps for play and work on potty training. He is a busy happy guy. He lovvvvees teething toys, soft toys, and when left unattended human shoes! (typical puppy, right?)

Elliott loves to play with the other pups in his foster home as well as plays on his own. He would love another dog in his home to play with, or he could be your one and only, as long as you have time to dedicate to him, and of course, like any puppy, likes to chew on things so youll need a watchful eye. He picks up anything and everything that is in front of his, so he will need age appropriate puppy chew toys and a quick human to take rocks, twigs and anything he wants to put in his mouth while outside. After playtime, he will settle down in a soft puppy bed or lap to relax. Please remember, puppies require ALOT of time, patience and consistency, especially in potty training. (He has been working on pee pad training), his tiny bladder can not hold it for several hours, he will need patience while he is learning potty training. Also, dont forget, they can be curious so youll need to puppy proof your home for his safety. He will need a home with watchful eyes to make sure he doesnt get into things he is not supposed to. A work from home family, or one who only works away from the home for just a few hours a day will be given preference.

Elliott would love a family that will continue to show his all the good things that life has to offer. Since he is currently so small, If these are children in the home, it is recommended that they be 12+. He is fast and so small he can get under feet quickly and sometimes unnoticed. He will need to be in a home where his people are agile, active and very alert to keep an eye out for his.

Elliott is current on his age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and started on his heartworm prevention and flea prevention.

***Potential adopters must live within an hour of the St. Petersburg, Fl. area to complete puppy care at our Veterinarian at our cost. This care will only be discussed with approved applicants.

If youd like to add this little cutie to your family, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.

Adoption Requirements: You must be a Florida resident, and be at least 25 years of age to adopt. To qualify for adoption, all of the pets in your home must be spayed or neutered, be current on all vaccines, preventatives, and have received consistent veterinary care. If youve had more than one Vet in the past 3 years, you must provide all the names and numbers for each vet. This breed typically lives 15-18 years, so please keep that lifespan in mind, as your age should be appropriate for the pets estimated lifespan.
