Sir Elton
(aka Edgar)

Elton has unknown beginnings but at the age of 5 Elton was abandoned and had an interesting run-in with the law; first he was picked up in North Platte, NE by the police, and then he was taken to the pound for crossing over I-80 unaccompanied. Then Elton's life took a turn for the better, and his luck started to change when a loving couple saved him from the pound and fostered him (Thank you Jan and Rich). Then he was adopted into his forever home in Colorado Springs. Elton has now graduated from Dog obedience class and walks on a leash without pulling or sniffing around. He has learned all the basic commands and loves to go everywhere he can with his new parents. Elton has some neck problems and some arthritis in his shoulders but is being well cared for and doing well. He is very intelligent; at the vet's office, the treat jar was empty so the vet tech went to the drawer opened it and filled the jar. Two weeks later Elton was at the vet's office for a follow up and he opened the drawer with his paw and looked at the same vet tech saying "Hey give me some treats". What a funny dog! Elton is very peaceful, and mellow; he loves playing with his dad and taking walks with mom. We can't imagine our lives without him; he brings joy to everyone he meets. Elton is such a blessing; he is a very fine Dalmatian.
