ELVIN NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Elvin Best Guess for Breed: Lab mix
Best Guess for Age: 2.5 years as of March 2024 SEX: Male
Approximate Weight: 44 lbs
Gets Along With: Other dogs and cats! We haven't seen him with kids but he can be tested.
Currently Living at: SC Shelter - needs a foster or forever home!
Special adoption considerations: Elvin is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! They are part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study will be placed at random, in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, this pup will be eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. Post treatment, we will work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test 6 months after treatment concludes, followed by a second test at 9 months.
Additionally, Elvin would do best in a single-family home as he has found his 'voice' and sings to his foster mother every day.
Elvin is Looking For: This handsome boy arrived in the shelter confused and scared, but has been making great progress. Elvin is eager to trot through the world with confidence and would love adopters who are extra loving, and patiently ensure he gains new experiences in new environments. Obedience school will help build his braves as well. Most of all, though, Elvin wants to live his life as a well-loved dog and know who his human family is. In exchange, he promises adoring gazes, tail wags, and unwavering loyalty for all his days.
What do you say? Is this cutie the one you can see by your side?
What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once he has spent more time with his foster.
