More about Elton

Hello!  I'm Elton, also known as Elton Cheese and Crackers because I LOVE cheese!  I have to tell you that I had a pretty rough start in life, but now that I'm in my foster home I'm gaining confidence and learning how to be a dog. My foster parents tell me that I'm doing great and that I learn very quickly.  They're impressed at how I've progressed but I will still need someone with time and patience to continue working with me. I am potty trained, and walk well on a leash. I get along famously with my dog brother and dogs I meet at doggie daycare or the dog park.  My foster parents are currently working with me on learning basic commands which I'm learning pretty quick because I will do anything for CHEESE!  I've also just learned how fun it is to have a Kong toy filled with Cheerios and a snuffle mat to find treats hidden in!  I have gone on many adventures with my foster parents and really enjoy hiking and exploring the forest trails.  I LOVE being outside! I’m told that I’d probably also do well as someone’s running partner. I will need a playful medium to large dog in the home to help me continue to learn and enjoy all the things about being a dog, and to help me get the exercise and mental stimulation that I need.  I may be a little shy when I first meet you but it's nothing personal, I was not socialized for the first 10 months of my life.  I hope you'd like to meet me and make me part of your family, I'm so excited to get to do all sorts of great dog things as I grow up!
