Elvis continues to thrive! In three weeks, he has put on 10 pounds, he was neutered, and he sits nicely for treats.
But the best news is that he found a wonderful family who can give him everything he needs. Besides awesome parents, he'll have two human boys to play with and grow up with. Elvis is living the dream!

Elvis is a 10-week-old puppy that came into RAGOM's care from a breeder along with four of his brothers. We are fostering him and his brother, Frank.
I was amazed that we made it through the first 3 days with no accidents in the house! Elvis sleeps about 5-6 hours at night without needing a potty break.
He is starting to use the crate as his safe spot, but he is kept in an indoor fenced area overnight and when we are gone from the house. During the day, we let Elvis and Frank out at least every three hours. A general rule is to "add 1 to their age in months," and that's how many hours they can be expected to hold it.
Since Elvis is a puppy, you can expect normal puppy behaviors like biting, chewing, jumping, and being totally adorable! He weighed in at 22 pounds at less than 10 weeks old. Our vet says if you double their weight at 16 weeks old and add a few pounds, it's pretty close to the adult weight you can expect. Already 6 pounds heavier than his brother, Elvis is going to be a big dog!
Besides love, Elvis needs an adopter who can provide frequent potty breaks, lots of toys, exercise, socialization, and training.
