My story

Elkhart is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster! Elkhart is: Neutered: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized More about Elkhart: Housebroken: Doing well overall, when on a consistent routine Crate trained: Yes! Leash walking: Doing well overall, but can become excited/frustrated when he sees other dogs on walks Dog social: Yes! Cat social: Unknown Kid friendly: He has done well in brief interactions with kids on walks Elkhart likes: - Going for walks and car rides - Making new friends - Snacktime! Elkhart is an adorable fella who’s curious about the world and your activities. He loves to peek over and see what you’re cooking in the kitchen. He enjoys leaning on his humans, meeting new people, and going for short walks in the neighborhood. He would likely do well in many types of homes! Elkhart is heartworm positive and on activity restriction. He is undergoing treatment at Ellis Clinic at no charge to their adopter. Heartworm is a treatable disease that most dogs make a full recovery from. You can learn more about heartworm treatment on our resource page -https://www.onetail.org/heartworm/ Elkhart's adoption fee has been generously sponsored by the Hansel Foundation, so his adopter can spoil him a little extra! Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/ *** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ***

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