Description
Description: Elvis and Priscilla were abandoned by their family. Fortunately, when a good Samaritan found them, they moved quickly to get them help. Elvis and Priscilla were brought to a local shelter where staff immediately began addressing their needs. Underweight, under-socialized, and lacking vetting care, shelter staff recognized that Elvis and Priscilla would need some extra support to move forward. When contacted to see if we could help them find their forever home, MAGSR was happy to step up. After several months in foster together and a trial separation it was determined that Elvis and Pricilla are not a true bonded pair as they do not appropriately care and nurture each other's needs. In their best interest, MAGSR decided to separate them in order to find them the best permanent home possible for them to continue to grow and develop into beloved family pets.
It is evident that Elvis has not always been treated kindly by people and although shy at first, with some gentle words, high value treats and loving pets he comes around. Elvis is always eager to learn and is building his confidence each day in his foster home. He is a very loving, gentle and kind dog. Elvis strives for his humans approval and responds well with verbal praise, patience, and high value treats. He craves head rubs, hugs and snuggle time in the evening. Elvis is housebroken and crate trained. He really enjoys the company of other dogs - big, small, young, and old and loves romping in the backyard! He has never met a dog he didn't like. Elvis knows some basic obedience; sit, down, come, no and stay. Elvis easily makes friends of both two and four legged varieties and has a happy go lucky disposition. Elvis' heartworm treatment is complete and he is no longer on restricted activity. He is ready to embark on the active lifestyle he deserves. If this sounds like the dog for you, ask to meet Elvis, you will not be disappointed!
