Notes from Elvis' caretakers:
Meet Elvis! He is just a big, happy go lucky puppy, extremely mild mannered and good with people and other dogs. He was sad his first few days with us as he was separated from his brother and sister, but a week later is doing really well. Everything is new, so it is fun to watch him react to things! Never fearful... just soaks things in on his own timeframe. We still have a few things to work on, but know he will be a wonderful addition to a family!
