Eldon is a young (~1.5-year-old) male mixed breed dog who weighs around 45 lbs. When Eldon first came to Rocket Dog, he was very shy and timid. He has really blossomed since then, and while he can still be nervous around strangers, he does really well with new people especially if they get on his level. He does great with dog-savvy kids. Eldon is very social with other dogs and would thrive with a similar-sized dog companion in his new home or regular interactions with dog friends.
Eldon has been an impressively fast learner in his foster home and has really come out of his shell. Eldon’s foster says his best qualities are that he is flexible and easygoing. He loves being outside (see video below) and would do best in an active home or one where he can get plenty of outdoors time with hikes, jogs, or a fenced-in yard. (Yards are a bonus, but do not replace daily walks.) He does great on lead. Eldon is a young dog who still has some puppy tendencies but has shown that he is capable and eager to learn. He loves chew toys and is able to entertain himself with one for quite some time. (He has not been cat-tested.)
If you’re interested in learning more about or meeting Eldon, please fill out an adoption application and a volunteer will be in touch. (GS)
