Hi, My name is Elliot, aka Bullet Boy. Here's a few things you should know about me.

#1 - I got shot. I don't remember how or where, but there's a bullet lodged right next to my spine. My back leg can get a bit stiff and not bend as well as my other leg, but I don't let it slow me down one bit. I hear the bullet is securely inside my body, and I've healed around it, so I don't need surgery. Whew - surgery sounds scary!

#2 - I'm pretty much the sweetest boy you'll ever meet, if I do say so myself. From the very first second, I love everyone I meet. Since I've been a DROH dog, everyone has been so nice to me, and it makes me happy that people like me, and boy do I love them.

#3 - I am a bed sleeper. I don't know how you feel about a dog in the bed, but gosh I just love snuggling right up next to my human, and I don't move a muscle till you tell me it's time to get up.

#4 - I like toys, I'm learning how to share now that I have a baby Foster brother. How can I not share with a tiny little puppy? I know there are plenty toys to go around.

#5 - I'm a good leash walker and like to take care of my business on a walk. I'll also go in the backyard, but I'll never go in the house. That's just rude.

#6 - I don't mind being in my kennel during the day. I can't say I love it, but I know why I have to go there, and I make do till my family comes home to let me out.

#7 - I'm chill, relaxed and laid back. I don't need a ton of exercise or activity each day. I mostly like laying on the sofa or being next to my family wherever they are sitting.

#8- Not to brag, but can you also see how incredibly good looking I am with my beautiful clear Black and Tan markings and a white streak down my chest to give me that distinguished look?

So I think to sum up, I'm a pretty awesome dog. Will you let me live with you forever and ever? I promise I won't disappoint you.
