About Elvis Presley

German Shorthaired Pointer
Age: Senior
Sex: Male

PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS: Elvis Presley is a male GSP, about 10 years old with a high energy level. He gets along well with other dogs; unsure about cats. Recommend a fenced yard with plenty of room to run and fetch his toys. ELVIS PRESLEY'S STORY: Yep folks. You read it right. There's been another Elvis Presley sighting! But this Elvis Presley is a 10-year-old beautiful black and white male GSP with a natural tail. He may know a few Elvis tunes, but if he does, he hasn't been quick to share them with his foster dad. Rather than sing, or should we say howl, a few of the Elvis oldies, he'd much rather play fetch in the back yard or romp with his 12-year-old GSP foster brother. I rather think he got his name because of his soulful 'Elvis' eyes and sleek coat. Elvis weighs about 40 pounds and is a medium-sized GSP with a somewhat high energy level. He hasn't shown much prey drive, even when a little bunny or two shows up in his back yard. He either knows they can out maneuver him, or he just prefers not to join in a chase. We're not sure which it is, but they don't seem to interest him enough to engage in the typical GSP stalk, point, and chase mode. Elvis Presley adapted quickly to his foster home and enjoys time spent with his people and his dog playmate. Favorite activities include playing fetch, running and chasing his GSP brother, and snuggling up with his people to rest after his playtime has exhausted him. He'll also play fetch by himself if you run out of energy before he does. He's a smart guy and already knows many of the basic commands including: sit, stay, come, and down. Elvis is very people-oriented and you're likely to find him wherever you are, or not too far away from you. He's a bit of a Velcro GSP, but in a very good way. He's also been known to be a bit of a counter-surfer, but nothing too hard to correct. Just make sure you don't leave anything too tempting within his reach�'�|he may end up being your official 'food taster' �'�|just to make sure everything is safe to eat. LOL! He hasn't shown any food or toy aggression toward people or animals and hasn't required a crate to keep him out of mischief. Like most GSPs, he's very interested in pleasing his people and tries hard to keep them happy. He isn't fostered in a home with children or cats, so we're unsure how he'll be with them; however, given what we currently know about him, it's likely he'll do well with either. Elvis Presley's foster dad says that Elvis is, 'happy, loving, and loves to snuggle.' When you see and meet our Elvis, we think many of THE Elvis's songs will start to pop up in your head. You'll probably say to yourself, I 'Can't Help Falling in Love' with this little guy. Really�'�| just look at him. He's so cute and cuddly, like a little 'Teddy Bear.' And even if he gets soaked with a little 'Kentucky Rain', he'll be so cute when he gets 'All Shook Up' drying himself off. He'll soon become your newest 'Good Luck Charm', too. So, folks, 'Are You Lonesome Tonight'? Then let's have a 'Little Less Conversation' because our Elvis definitely isn't a 'Devil in Disguise'; he's a keeper you'll never want to 'Return to Sender'. Yep...he's just a good ole GSP 'Hound Dog'. If you think Elvis Presley is the perfect match for you and your family, please complete our online adoption application at www.ilshorthairrescue.com.
