Elton, the pit bull whose story went viral after he was dumped at a Tennessee animal shelter earlier this week because his former owner thought he was “gay,” has found a new loving home.
Dog-lover Stephanie Fryns, moved by the plight of the pitbull, adopted him with just hours to spare before he was scheduled to be euthanized, and named him after gay rocker Elton John.
Elton was left at the shelter because its former owner thought he was gay after catching him humping another male dog — a behavior common among dogs as a way to show dominance.
On Wednesday, a Facebook group posted a photo of Elton, and his story went viral on the website Gawker, prompting thousands of comments and hundreds of calls to the shelter.
Fryns, a veterinary tech from Jackson, said that she saw Elton on an adoption website and had made plans to rescue him even before his story went viral.

Some people are just stupid
Owner sounds like an ass…hope the doggy gets a great loving home.
you do know that there is no gay animals it is just they hump whatever they can find it isent being gay it is there biological make up
The idiot that took the dog in should be banned from owning pets.
No, Branden Revis, animals can be born gay just like people can be born gay. Don’t know if this dog is gay, you are right, though. Dogs can hump whatever.
that owner is a real idiot!! I hope elton go a great home!!
unreal. what an ahole
so glad to hear that the dog got a new home. :)
woow really i mean my lil pitty wiggles always humps the bigger one sara and there both girls i still loves them!! i find it kinda funny actually #pride #pitbulls
Once I open my home to a pet, that pet is mine for life. That pit bull sounds way smarter than his first owner.
Some people are just downright stupid… x.x
Oh Good Lord honey!- Karen Walker
that makes me happy the dog gets a good home!!
Oh, Gospodi pomiluj nas!
So i love this site, love animals, so happy doggy got a new home BUT please keep the”deeper” stories coming & i will keep sharing them & plastering then on fb page for all the conservative mother fuckers I’m friends with. peace, love.
i have seen and heard it all. omg, really dude?
Wish the dog could have dump his owner and said I don’t want u cuz ur a moron….. I am glad he got true loving owners :-)
He needed a good home and now he has one
I wish I could have adopted this fella. He looks so charming and happy! I’m glad he got the loving home he deserves. :)
OMG I want a gay dog lol
A gay dog…OK, let’s hear it for Tennessee. :-)
WOW a whole new level of stupidity and ignorance.
Only in a place like Tennessee, no offense to anyone but its an unarguable fact.
That’s so sad.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, save the dog and euthanize the moron owner.
uh. wat.
Good to see that dog has a new home
Thank God.. WTF
the owner should be put away for being homophobic
Okay, this is so stupid that I actually don’t believe it’s true. Has anybody checked this out, for real?
Seriously thought this was the onion. That person was an idiot.
what the fuck
I hate to say, but it is true. It happened right here where I live. Worse yet, my cousin works with the guy that did it and the guy was BRAGGING about it at work.
What ignorance!
The dog certainly didn’t really know what it was doing. My dogs have done that. A bunch. All dogs do, to my knowledge. It isn’t even gay; they don’t givvuh shit. Just got horny and wanted to hump something. People do it too. Look at prisons.
Ridiculously funny.
if ya dont know dogs dont get a dog.
It’s true. A rescue group claimed him though.
Many “parents” of gay children who come out to them think tey are disposable as well.
:(
My male doesn’t do this but the two females(one foster) I have do it to him. What would they call the females in Tennessee???…….Confused. :)
How stupid are people?
Ignorance Is so bliss!. Was he also named Elton after Sir.Elton? If so HE’S STLL STANDING. Ans so will canine Elton, goof luck boy!!
Poor dog :(
happy he got a new forever home….
