My story

Elliott: Lanky, Goofy, International Dog of Mystery Seeks Co-Pilot for Life Single young pup, 11 months old, ISO a loving human (or two!) for epic adventures, couch snuggles, and the occasional light nibbling of your shoes (I’m a work in progress, okay?). About Me: I’m a 35 lb. leggy model with soulful eyes and ears that have their own zip code. My backstory is basically an action movie: born in the harsh Kosovo winter, I’m the sole survivor of my litter, which makes me a certified tough guy with a heart of marshmallow. I’ve got that goofy “Marmaduke” energy and a PhD in flopping dramatically onto the floor. My Hobbies Include: ✔️Nylabone Chewing: A passion project. ✔️Perimeter Patrol: I run laps outside in the backyard to say hello to everyone in the neighborhood. It's a public service announcement. ✔️TV Criticism: I will bark at questionable acting or overly-excitable commercials on screen. ✔️Enthusiastic Wrestling: My love language with other dogs. I play big, but I know when to tap out. What I’m Looking For in a Partner: Patience truly is essential when welcoming a new pup into your home. It’s important to recognize that young pups are not flawless creatures; they are adventurous and sometimes mischievous little beings. However, your enthusiasm to nurture and guide me into becoming the best companion I can be fills me with excitement! You’re well-versed in the art of encouraging me with praise like “Good Boy!” and have an ample stash of delicious treats and engaging toys to motivate me along the way. Having a canine sibling would be an incredible advantage—I'd love a furry friend to practice my delightful wrestling skills with! Together, we could create endless joyful moments and provide each other with the companionship we both crave. Your dedication and understanding will make all the difference in our journey together! Ready to upgrade your life with a dose of hilarious, heartwarming chaos? Swipe right on me -->click on that apply to adopt button!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Elliott , please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
