Life In Foster Care

I am doing pretty darn good in my foster home. I have a family to spend time with ( even if they are only on loan to me) I have kids to play with. I have a endless water supply to drink from and to take a dip in, and I get lots of cuddles! One day I hope I can get all this with my forever family!!!

Here is what My foster mom says about me.

Life is Great

Laying in the sun with a yummy chewy.. What more could a boy ask for... Well except my furever family! I am enjoying my time at my foster home and I especially like all the attention I am getting! I get brushed and loved on... I really love to cuddle with my foster mom and she compares me to a giant stuffed bear..( what ever that is?) I hope my new family will like to cuddle!

What An Exciting Few Days

I have had the BEST few days! My foster mom came and picked me up and she brought me home and I got to meet my foster siblings! I like having siblings but I really like my humans too. I love to give and get hugs! Sharing hugs are the best. I have been busy exploring the yard, and my new digs! There is even a parrot here and he tries to tell me what to do. I fell for it the first time he told me to sit but now on am on to him! I have a back yard that has lot's of birds in it but soetimes I like to habg out in the house that way I can have extra cuddles! I also went to the Vets and I met all sorts of people and was the hit of the party! Everyone said how handsome I am and well behaved, and my mom said I was a perfect gentlemen. I also found out that I am a AWESOME traveling companion! Riding in the car is way cool! I hope my new family will be able to give me lot's of fun days too!

I can't believe there are no treats out here! Someone must have gotten to them first. I will be better prepared next time!

My new friend from IBR came today to take my picture! She says that I am just the sweetest boy ever. She says that even though I was very excited to see her that I was still very gallant and well behaved! I even posed for this picture. I have 6 years of worldly experience under my belt and I am also HW negative and UTD on my shots. I am told I will also be neuterd but I am unsure what that is.

I have been looking high and low for my new family! Nope they aren't in here! I did find some treats though and as you can see I really like treats, and hey why not? A dog with my nobel status should be allowed lot's of yummy treats. They tell me I might have to watch what I eat for a while. Hmmmm I suppose a more svelt figure would be very knightly.

Hi I'm Elton and I was left in a holding pen at a local shelter, lucky for me the people at this shelter are nice. A wonderful lady contacted IBR and now these nice folks will help me find my new family. They tell me I am a very sweet boy and I have a lot to offer a family. I am already looking!
