Meet Elvira

Meet Elvira! At 21 pounds, this adorable 4-year-old mixed breed (possibly with a little Feist in her mix) is the perfect little companion! And that adorable little stub tail? It’s always wagging when she sees someone she’s starting to trust! When Elvira first came into foster, the world felt like a pretty scary place. But after three weeks in a loving home, she’s already making wonderful progress! She’s spending more time out of her crate, discovering the joys of relaxing on the couch, and learning that life with people can be pretty wonderful. She still needs a little time to feel comfortable in new situations, but her confidence is growing, and we can’t wait to see her continue to blossom. Elvira absolutely loves having other dogs around and takes comfort in their companionship. She’ll need a confident, friendly canine sibling in her forever home to help her feel safe and continue coming out of her shell. She’s doing well with her house training, and her foster is keeping a close eye on her as she continues to learn. Elvira is looking for someone who will give her the time, patience, and encouragement she needs to blossom. We know that once she feels safe and loved, that little stub tail is going to be wagging an awful lot! She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and will be available for adoption starting 10/4/26 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.
