Elf is a 2-year-old pittie mix with the softest eyes and an even softer heart. At just 30 pounds, he may be small in size, but his capacity for love is huge. While he’s shy at first, Elf quickly bonds with patient, gentle people and flourishes in a calm, consistent routine. Once he feels safe, his silly, affectionate personality comes to life—and you’ll get to see just how sweet he truly is.
Why He’s the Ultimate Sensitive Sweetheart
