AS SWEET AS HE IS HANDSOME: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 14 lbs.
Hi, I’m Elias! I came to Mostly Mutts after finding myself in need of a new home and family to love. I came in heartworm positive, but I’ll be treated for that soon, so local adoption please. I’m so grateful that Mostly Mutts was able to take me in and I am happy to be soaking up all the love from the volunteers. Now I'm ready to find a wonderful home of my own. Perhaps with you?
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and was interested, but gave a few concerned side-eye glances so if you have a nice dog at home, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a sweet, handsome boy who just wants to be close to you. Honestly, I love being carried—it makes me feel safe and special. Bath time was a little scary for me; that sprayer is intense. But I’m proud of myself because I just stood at the edge of the tub and leaned into my bather, trusting her completely. Brushing? Oh, I’m great for brushing. My hair is nice, soft, and I enjoy the attention. I’m a total cuddle bug, happiest when I’m pressed against you, soaking up affection. Toys don’t really interest me, but treats and snuggles absolutely do. Walking isn’t my favorite thing; sometimes I’d rather not move at all. But once we get to the grass, I’ll pee right away like a good boy. I’m active in my own way—curious, alert, and always ready to engage with you, even if toys aren’t my thing. I’m a gentle soul who thrives on closeness, reassurance, and love. / Energy level: 4-6.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and look forward to learning a lot with my trainer! Check back soon to see what I've learned and let's continue my training with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My crate manners have been good at the shelter. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I like getting attention from my people and a little Pup-Peroni treat. I’m sure we’ll discover lots more things we like to do together! / I’m not sure about walks and I haven’t shown interest in toys yet, but maybe you can teach me how fun they can be. Like all dogs, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.
• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. Sadly, I wasn’t kept on heartworm prevention in my previous home, so I’m heartworm positive. The good news is that I’ll be treated for that in October 2026, and Mostly Mutts will cover the cost of that treatment with their vet. I hope to be with my new family before treatment begins!
