Description:

Meet Elvis, a three-year old male who (according to his foster mom) is one of the nicest bassets she's ever met. He is very active, and needs to walk and play a lot to use up his energy, so laidback adopters need not apply. Even so, he'll be a great family dog.

Elvis has loved everyone he has met and is very good with kids and other dogs. However older dogs may not have the patience to deal with him when they are tired and he is still ready to rip and tear.

He is currently undergoing heartworm treatment, after which he will be neutered. He does great at the vet and rides well in the car. Nothing seems to rattle or upset him.

His one drawback is that he marks inside the house so he has to be watched constantly. We think this will be resolved once Elvis is neutered, however any adopter will need to be aware of this and be willing to work with him to assure he doesn't have any more accidents indoors.

Elvis will be a great dog for the right home willing to give him exercise and work with him on his housetraining. He'll be ready for adoption once he is neutered.
