Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Get ready to fall in love! Meet Elmer, a stunning 5.5-year-old Chocolate Labrador Retriever mix fully grown at about 60 pounds. Elmer was rescued from a high kill shelter in Swainsboro, GA, where he was scheduled to be euthanized purely for space. For the past 6 months, Elmer has been patiently waiting in his foster home to find the forever family he dreams of.
Elmer is an easy going guy who is a joy to have around. He loves to go for walks, is a huge fan of fetch, and in general is a big fan of toys. As much as Elmer loves playtime or a good adventure, he’s also just as content to curl up on the couch with his foster family to watch a movie or check some emails.
Elmer does best in a calmer environment, one without young children, other dogs or cats, where he can relax, go on plenty of walks, play fetch to his heart’s content, and enjoy being the center of attention. Elmer is fully housebroken and crate trained. He sleeps soundly through the night on his dog bed and is always excited to start each new day with plenty of cuddles and affection!
Elmer's foster family says: "He's a happy-go-lucky dog, truly enjoys life to the fullest. His favorite activities are going for walks, playing fetch, and eating. Say the words "walk", "ball" or "eat" and he jumps for joy. He's great on walks and never tires of fetching a ball (or frisbee, or any toy). He equally enjoys his downtime and loves to cuddle on the couch with his family. He's very affectionate and not shy about asking for attention."
All Elmer needs now is a forever home to call his own! Apply to adopt him today at www.homeforgooddogs.org!
Elmer is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped.
**Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org**
HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!

Their adoption process

Submit Application

Additional adoption info
Are you interested in adopting one of our rescued puppies or dogs? Great! At Home for Good Dog Rescue, we strive to find you a perfect canine match. In order to do so, we need to learn a little bit about you and your lifestyle. We don’t mean to pry or be nosey, but we must ensure that our rescues are being placed in the best possible home or situation.
The following is important information regarding our adoption process, policies, and procedures. Please read each point over thoroughly before submitting your application.
1. All potential adopters must fill out an online adoption application. We have volunteers who work from home to process your application. Please be patient. The application process typically takes 2-5 days. Please fill out the application completely and honestly in order to ensure that your application will be completed in a timely manner.
2. Our volunteers will be contacting all of your references, including your Veterinarian (if applicable) and landlord (if applicable), so please notify them prior to submitting your application to speed up the process. Be sure to check your email, including Spam folder, for a response from Home for Good. All communications regarding your application must go through email.
3. Any pets currently in your household must be up to date with vaccines, including Rabies, and be seen for annual wellness visits. We DO NOT adopt dogs out to homes with un-altered animals.
4. All dogs placed by HFGD are to be house dogs. NO dog will be placed in a home where they will be outside-only dogs or farm dogs. HFGD reserves the right to schedule a home visit to ensure the safety of our rescues.
5. Approved applications are valid for 6 months. After 6 months, you must re-submit an application. This applies to previous adopters as well.
6. Please keep in mind that HFGD may have already received applications on the dog you are interested in. For this reason, the dog you are interested in may not be available once your application is finished being processed.
7. Upon approval and acceptance, you may schedule a Meet and Greet via email only with the dog of your choice, subject to availability. Meet and Greets will be scheduled in the order they are requested. If the dog you applied for is no longer available or is not the right match for your home, HFGD will work with you to find another dog that will be a great fit for you and your family.
8. Please be advised that your entire household, including any canines or caregivers, must be present for the Meet and Greet. HFGD does not allow adoptions as gifts or surprises. The entire household must meet the dog and be in agreement to bringing the dog into the home. NO EXCEPTIONS.
9. Approved Applications do not guarantee adoption. A meet and greet is the final step in the placement of our dogs. HFGD wants to ensure that it is the right fit for all humans and canines involved.
