Meet *Elfin Rabbit -- ADOPTABLE HOSPICE

  Meet Mr. Elfin Rabbit This sweet boy is a 15 year old 8 lb chihuahua mix that came to us from San Jose Animal Care Center . Elfin is a member of our sunset club and we are looking for a loving and compassionate person willing to show him love and treat him like the prince he is for the estimated 1 year (maybe less maybe more) that he has left. Elfin is on cough tabs, benzonatate and Prednisone as needed for collapsed trachea and liver supplements. His labs will be rechecked in a month . This is what his foster mom says about him "I don’t know what to say about Elfin. His personality does not shine through but he has touched deep within my heart. I often look at him fast sleep and he looks so pure and innocent. I can’t help but pick him up and give him extra love and attention. He loves that as much as I do He sleeps most of the day and would also love to be your lap dog. We are treating his collapsed trachea with proper meds and that gives him some relief. He hasn’t had any accidents in the home if you take him out regularly. He’s a good eater and takes his meds in a little bit of wet food. Since he stays to himself most of the time he isn’t bothered by the other dogs in his foster home. We don’t think he would bother cats either but we can test him at our vets office, if needed. Car rides are a breeze for Elfin. In the crate he’s very quiet. He does like to sniff out your hidden snacks in the car if he’s not restrained. We think he might have been a police K9 in his past life. If you have a sensitive heart like his foster mom and would welcome this little guy into your home, email us at [email protected]. Elfin deserves to live out the rest of his life loved and spoiled" This sweet boy may not have the biggest personality, but he has the biggest heart and he deserves someone to give his love to for whatever amount of time he has left. If you are interested in loving this deserving boy and giving him the best final chapter in his life, please send us an email to [email protected] If you are unable to adopt but would Like to help ***PLEASE SHARE HIS STORY***       GENERAL INFO:   Housebroken?: Yes, we think so Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Yes Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Yes, we think so Good with dogs?: Yes Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: yes Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5 Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.  Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee.
