My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ladies, are you looking for the perfect guy? Well, look no further! I am all that AND a bag of chips! Speaking of chips, they're DELICIOUS! I am a true carb-o-holic. I love potatoes, corn, bread and zucchini. And beer should be kept out of my reach, because I have a taste for that, too! My foster mom tries to make sure I don't get into any of that stuff, but sometimes a loaf of bread is just too tempting to resist! I am also an expert at yoga and have perfected the "downward dog" pose. We could totally do yoga together! I am also an excellent swimmer and love to sit in the pool. My favorite shows are The Bachelor and The Bachelorette! I also like to watch Homestead Rescue. Oh, who am I kidding? I love watching anything on TV, period! I am the ideal composition of your perfect guy! We could do yoga in the morning, swimming in the afternoon and in the evening, grab a bag of chips and binge watch TV together! See? Perfect guy! I also love to have my ears rubbed and belly rubs. I don't mind hugs, but don't like to be laid on or loud noises like thunder or gun shots. I have learned to get along with the resident cats in my foster home and I will hang out with them on the sofa. I also live with several other dogs and I get along with them all. My favorite toy is my monkey and I do not tear my toys up. My foster sister, Josie, ripped up my monkey and foster mom fixed him for me. He is my favorite and I take him to bed with me at night. I sleep in my crate at night and will go in my crate myself when I am tired and ready to go to sleep. I should not be allowed on people beds until I've settled in because I tend to get possessive of them and will get grumpy if asked to move. However, if I do get grumpy, food (preferably a bit of bread or a potato chip) or a toy changes my whole mood. I am easy to manage, once you get used to my quirks. I would do okay with older kids, but I would not enjoy being around a rambunctious toddler or a baby. My ideal home would be with a single person or a couple. They tell me that I am a Treeing Walker Coonhound and that I am around 7.5 years old and around 61 pounds. They also say that I am so handsome and very sweet and silly! I am house trained, crate trained, and I am not a big barker. I really only bark when it's meal time and I couple that with a little wiggle butt dance. I get so excited to eat! I will definitely need a forever home with a nice back yard because as a hound dog, I like to explore with my nose. If you think I might be the guy for you, give them a shout and tell them Elvis sent you! The sooner, the better! I can't wait to meet my forever people! I hope it's YOU! Elvis's adoption fee is $650 (that includes ground transport from Houston, TX to the Chicago, IL area). Transport is arranged to adopter upon finalizing the adoption. He has been neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped so he is ready to go! **This dog is currently in his foster home in Houston, Texas.

Mission Statement:

To provide a safe environment for neglected or abused canines that need a place to rehabilitate or be in foster care until a permanent home can be established for them. To work with and assist like-minded animal assistance organizations and assist them with providing sanctuary and rehabilitation for canines until permanent homes can be established for them.

We started as a private rescue over 10 years ago and we are now a 501c3. Our goal is to help the homeless and neglected dogs in Texas and to do what we can to educate on the value of spay and neuter so the tragic loss of life of dogs and cats can be prevented.
