Nicole hopping on, any and all posts of Elvira would be appreciated. She truly is a sweetheart and deserves to be in a home of her own instead of getting more and more comfortable in my home.
I’m honestly surprised she hasn’t had more interest. She is such a sweet little dog with so much love to give.

Elvira is about 2 years old, around 14 pounds, and has the energy and silliness of a puppy. She LOVES toys, sunbathing, cuddling, and being close to her people. She’s truly happiest when she’s near her person and would likely thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not — maybe someone retired, working from home, or simply looking for a constant little companion. ❤️

Elvira can live with another dog, but she would do best with a confident companion that won’t let her push boundaries. She does resource guard with other dogs, though she has never shown any guarding behaviors toward people. In her foster home, she does best with dogs that have a little more confidence and structure.
She may need a few days to settle in with another resident dog, but overall she has integrated into foster care very well and has been one of the easier foster dogs to bring into a home.
Elvira’s story started in Mexico, where she was found living on the streets while heavily pregnant. She was taken in, gave birth to six puppies, and is ready for a fresh start. It’s finally her turn to find the loving forever home she deserves. 🖤
Please share to help Elvira find her people!
