Story
Meet Elijah.
Hey everyone, I'm Elijah, Eli for short. I'm an old dude at 14 years old, and just 6 measly pounds. My owner surrendered me to a shelter in Houston, so here I am looking for a new home, at such an old age. They say everything happens for a reason though. My foster mom says I'm kind of a loner and I like to sleep alot. Let's just say she doesn't think my past life was too great, like maybe I was abused. I startle easily, even if someone just wants to pet me. But I'm trusting more every day, and I'm not aggressive when I get scared. I'm housebroken, and I ride fine in a car, so if you want a riding buddy, I'm a good candidate. I get along with mellow dogs, and I do fine with older, calmer kids, but not little ones that are loud and move fast.
I enjoy sleeping, eating, toodling around the yard, then coming back in to sleep some more. I'm not a fast mover, come on, I'm 14! I'm not much of a lap sitter, but I don't mind being carried around in a blanket for a bit. My foster mom says I really want to be loved, but my past makes me uncertain of people's intentions. I'm just looking for someone to show me not all people are bad, and that will show me love, so I can love them eventually too. Is that something you will do for me?
