MORE ABOUT Elf

Meet Elf! Elf is such a loving, adorable and cheeky chap. He's been in kennels for such a long time that our volunteers take him home as often as they can to give him a break. They say he's such fun and makes them laugh loads. His whole rear end wags he's so happy to be there. He's very playful and will do zoomies around the house and garden and then flop on his bed. He is very smart and loves treats, so he would be very receptive to training to help him accept other dogs in the world. Elf is excitable and loves an outing, whether to the park or just to the office for a groom.  He is a very bright boy who can be a little unsure around other dogs, and can be quite vocal but with some guidance a firm "No!" seems to do the trick.    He has the most delightful expressions on his beautiful face and has mastered the art of looking like a Hollywood starlet when he’s relaxing. He's a happy traveller who loves a good sniff but isn't overly obsessed.  He hops right into the boot of a car, though can pop up and down a few times during a journey.  On a recent visit to a quieter area of Sutton Park, Elf walked beautifully on the lead and took delight in all the sights and smells.  His home visit was an absolute success too!  No accidents, he can do stairs like a pro, and he's not bothered by the TV.  He's not a fan of laminate floors, but he adores treats and is super friendly, cuddly, and playful, and knows his own name too! In a nutshell: Elf is a bundle of energy, enthusiasm, and a dash of mischievousness. He's a traveller, a parkour pro (in his mind), a squirrel spotter, and a social butterfly (with a few barks thrown in for good measure). He's definitely got personality, and with more training, he'll be a superstar!  He's got the potential to be a truly amazing dog – just needs to learn to channel his inner ninja into something a bit more…chill. He's just fab and really needs a sighthound savvy owner to give him some direction and guidance and in return he'll fill your life with love and laughter.
