I’ve been waiting two years to say this………..
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!

Elvis who has been with us since we first started has now found a loving home in which to see out his retirement.

We shall miss him but we are glad he has the opportunity to enjoy his retirement to the full.
Below is an update and some pictures of him from his new family.

Hi,
We just wanted to give you an update on your oldest ex-resident, Elvis.
Elvis came to us 10 days ago. He has settled in remarkably well given that he has lived for so long in Kennels. He is very affectionate, and still quite insecure at times, following us round the house. He has bonded well with our other two ex racers, and all three seem to enjoy their walks and playing together in our garden(see photos).

He has an insatiable appetite, so we have to watch him carefully at meal times, and also in terms of stealing food from worktops. He has burnt his tongue(not seriously) when deciding to drink from a cup of tea on the coffee table, and seems to have learned from this. He is very playful, and loves to chase balls, and will on occasion even return them to you. He has eaten 3 balls in 10 days!(and one of my slippers) He has also learned quickly not to terrorize the chickens.
He is learning to “ask” to go outside for toileting, although lifting his leg on furniture still happens in rooms that he is unfamiliar with. This is improving all the time.
He loves his sleep, and has developed his favourite mat next to our bed, near the other two. He sleeps right through the night, (except for the first night when he went outside at 2am, and returned soaking wet having fallen into our pond)

Overall, we are very pleased with his progress, and love him to pieces.

ELVIS ENJOYING HIS RETIREMENT

BELOW ARE DETAILS OF ELVIS BEFORE HE WAS HOMED

Elvis is an eight year old Black and White dog who has an extremely gentle and loving nature.
He just wants human companionship and is happy to lay with his head in your lap soaking up the attention that he is given.
We have taken Elvis to various outside events now and he is a fine example of the nature of this breed, he greeted everyone who came to see us in a happy, calm fashion without jumping up or forcing himself onto them.

The type of home Elvis would love is one where he can just be in the company of someone and have lots of love and attention.
He would be an ideal companion, and contribute greatly, to a single active person or a family with older teenage children.
He is a happy, funny character who likes nothing better than to return to his bed after a walk and make it just the way he likes it!

Elvis has become quite a celebrity and his CV includes a News Paper Article and a TV appearence with Dale Howting (The Whistling Postman) on Meridian News, despite this attention he still remains grounded and hasn’t let this new found fame go to his head!

Give Elvis a chance and I’m sure you will not be disappointed
He is a big softie with an equally big heart!
