Then a former Elvis impersonator saw him. ‘I loved him immediately,’ said Loren Agron, manager of a 1950s-themed diner in Chicago By Cathy Free November 22, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. EST Loren Agron enjoys some quiet time with Elvis on the sofa at home in Chicago. (Drew Wilhelm) Listen 4 min Share Comment523 Add to your saved stories Save There was just one dog left behind, and his name was Elvis. The other 61 dogs and cats at the Chicago shelter event were adopted on the same day, leaving Elvis, a white and gray pup, the only pet sent back to the shelter where he’d lived for about four months. The pet rescue organization Anti-Cruelty Society took to Facebook the following day, explaining that Elvis was brought to them as a stray with a fractured pelvis, which had since healed. “He met a lot of potential adopters, but sadly did not get adopted,” the Nov. 14 post read. Elvis at the Anti-Cruelty Society shelter in Chicago earlier this month. The pit bull-terrier mix was the only pet not adopted at the animal nonprofit's adoption drive. (Anti-Cruelty Society) “Elvis is a 3-year-old meatball that has the silliest personality,” the post continued. “His giant smile lights up every room he enters. Elvis is a snuggler, so he hopes you are okay giving up your personal space.” The post also noted that Elvis, a pit bull-terrier mix, had been potty-trained and crate-trained, but would probably be prone to arthritis in the future due to his fracture. He rescued a family from Vietnam in 1975. On Thanksgiving they thank him. Drew Wilhelm could not believe his eyes when he saw a story on Chicago WGN9 about Elvis. He sent it to his partner, Loren Agron. The couple had talked about adopting a dog, but were still mulling over the idea. Agron said he was smitten by the photos of Elvis smiling with his tongue hanging out. But the real reason he felt a sudden connection to Elvis is that Agron was an Elvis impersonator. The Anti-Cruelty Society posted this photo of Elvis on social media, hoping to entice people to adopt him earlier this month. (Anti-Cruelty Society) Agron, 39, is a manager at Ed Debevic’s, a 1950s-themed diner known for snarky waitstaff and choreographed dance numbers on the soda counter. When he worked as a waiter at the restaurant from 2005 to 2007, Agron dressed up as Elvis Presley and called himself “Elvis Parsley.” “I wore a black cowboy shirt and quintessential giant Elvis sunglasses, I had long sideburns and my hair was all pomped up and slicked back,” he said. “I’d get up onstage in the diner and sing ‘Teddy Bear’ to entertain all the customers.” “Elvis has always been a big part of my life because I’ve always loved music from that era,” he added. Loren Agron used to impersonate Elvis Presley from 2005 to 2007 at the Chicago 1950s-themed diner where he still works. This photo shows him in 2017, when he suited up again as Elvis. (Loren Agron) Agron went to the shelter the following day to meet Elvis. They played around on the floor with Elvis’s favorite toy, a stuffed moose with tennis balls for feet. “I loved him immediately,” Agron said. “Having a pup named Elvis seemed like a perfect fit.” Agron returned to the shelter to introduce Elvis to Wilhelm, his partner for the past year and a half.

(Drew Wilhelm) “He couldn’t stop jumping on us, he was so excited we were there to see him,” Wilhelm said. He and Agron adopted Elvis that day, Nov. 17, prompting the Anti-Cruelty Society to post on Facebook that “Elvis has LEFT the building!” When the pair took Elvis home to their two-bedroom apartment near Lake Michigan’s Foster Beach, the pup sniffed around and left no doubt that he was “The King,” said Wilhelm, referring to one of Presley’s nicknames. One of Elvis's favorite pastimes is napping, said Drew Wilhelm. (Loren Agron) “The anxiety of the shelter just melted away,” Wilhelm said. “We learned right away that Elvis loves to lounge. He took free range of every chair in the apartment, plus the bed.” Elvis made it known that he loved peanut butter and anything bacon flavored, said Agron. Those also were some of Elvis the singer’s famously favorite foods. Her dogs were to be euthanized while she was in a coma. A stranger stepped in. “Even though he waited a long time in the shelter, we’re glad he wasn’t adopted, because he’s our family now,” he said. Elvis, a pit bull-terrier mix, lived at the Anti-Cruelty Society animal shelter in Chicago for 130 days. (Anti-Cruelty Society) He and Wilhelm have settled into a comfortable routine with their pup, taking him on walks, playing fetch and tug-of-war and relaxing together on the sofa when Elvis doesn’t claim it for himself. “He’s just an adorable goofball,” Wilhelm said. “We love how he’s made himself at home.” Elvis is ready for the holidays in Chicago. (Loren Agron) Staffers at the Anti-Cruelty Society are also thrilled that Elvis now has a home. “We were all so sad for Elvis when he was the only one left after our ‘Fall in Love’ waived adoption fee event,” said Rachel Klousnitzer, senior director of marketing and communications for the animal nonprofit. “We’re grateful that people all over the country are now invested in Elvis’s story, and we can’t stress enough that we see dogs like Elvis waiting for their forever homes every day,” she added. He “ain't nothing but a hound dog,” but Elvis has taken over the bed since he was adopted, said Drew Wilhelm. (Drew Wilhelm) Wilhelm said he hopes to keep the Elvis momentum going, and that people will think about whether adopting a pet is right for them. “When nobody wanted Elvis, we took him home, and I’m so glad we did,” Wilhelm said. “Even though he only leaves me a sliver of the bed.”

One of the greatest movies ever....

I was never much of a Grand Funk fan. But this is a damn good tune...

Fcuk. Fireworks are already starting up again, just as the sun goes down. Gonna be a long night/week. Cocksuckers.

I pay monthly for Nord. I believe it is around $12/month. Worth it to me, maybe not for others. Free is usually shit.

i understand. Fellow esteemed BM taught me a valuable bit of knowledge regarding such issues. If you use a VPN (which IMO is essential) you can change your server location that will enable to accept otherwise non viewable YT stuff. Just depends on if someone can be arsed to do so.

Wow !

Watching this...... FCUK !

Mine are worth a fortune.... to me.

I think I have most of my ticket stubs buried somewhere. I will have to dig those out some day.

I have to post this again also. Great vid, and such a beautiful, heavy song. There is a pic of a girl sitting in front of a t.v. at 9:03..... OMG, OMG, OMG !

One of my favorite Brothers songs.... "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"

I'm jealous. Rock on brother !

How was the one between her legs. 55555555555 ! Sorry mate, sometimes I just can't help myself. 555555555 !

Put the headphones on mates....

LOL ! I used to bang a chick who had a room on Pothole. Fifth floor, what a shithole. But had quite a few good days in that room.

That ought to clean the pipes out good. I see Central has a brand new Sunrise Tacos place. Only been opened a couple weeks now. Little bit pricey, but what I tried there was very good.

👍

Sorry... I have to post this again. Love this song !

Absolutely. Appreciate the info. and glad to know everything is "back to normal". I once had an inner ear infection. Sent me into massive dizziness for three days straight. Couldn't even get off the couch. Scared the shit out of me. I hope I never have another one of those again.
