Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Happy news!! We are banding together and collabbing with our good friends at @puppykittynycity to help this darling dog find his forever!! Teamwork makes the dream work as we know. One team one mission is the rule we live by!
Ohhh Papa Elf ? What a cute boy and yet not ONE inquiry ? He sits and waits for the phone to ring but all he hears is silence ? We don’t understand why! Is it because he’s now 9? Nine is a great age! Still lively and fun loving yet also lives to relax! Papa was pulled from the NYACC in December of 2019 where he was found as a stray. The city shelter is not no-kill... he just had to be saved!! Pops is about 60 pounds so a medium size and he currently is lucky to be in a Foster home ?
Papa Elf is ok on leash, he does get happily excited when he sees people so he may jump up to greet you, but his foster peeps are working on that. Once he knows he’s safe, he’s loving and he has lots of energy to play. He sleeps in his crate like a good boy and his favorite toy is a ducky!! He adores rolling around in the grass and listens to commands.
Papa gets along with other dogs and a proper intro is mandatory to be set up for success! He’s not a fan of kitties (his loss lol). Mr. Elf will do best in a home that is consisent with rules - he thrives with a strong leader. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccines and housebroken. He is doing so wonderful with all the structure he now has!!
Why oh why is this boy still homeless? He matters just like they all do. Do you have a space in your home and heart to make his dreams come true? Please email us at info@tufftails.org for the full scoopage. You not only will make this boy’s life complete, but you may be a changed person yourself knowing you are this guy’s hero ?? Thank you!! xo
