My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Elmer may not be considered a frisbee champion, or have won many athletic awards, but he will definitely win your heart over with his snuggling talents and couch potato persona. If a night of snacking, snuggling and binging your favorite late night tv shows is your thing……..You may have just met your perfect match.

Elmer’s perfect home would be one where someone is there most of the time. Someone willing to give him lots of time and attention and let him practice being a velcro dog. Elmer loves his people, getting belly rubs and belly scratches from those people.

Elmer has been working on basic training with his foster mom but he’s sure he’d love to continue perfecting his training with you! Elmer, has never met a treat he didn’t like so Elmer, treats, and training is a trifecta combination. While Elmer may not have won many athletic awards, he could possibly medal in leashed, speed walking. He always wants to be out front and does need some work on his leash skills.

Elmer does have quite the doggy magnetic personality; meaning he makes doggy friends easy. His demeanor is calm and easy and so far, making new doggy friends has been very easy for him. Elmer seems to enjoy other dogs and loves cuddling with his four foster doggy siblings. Elmer did very well when cat tested! He was curious but not intrusive and seemed to be more interested other things than the cat.

Elmer may be an older gentleman of eight but he is still a looker and gets the ladies attention with his beautiful dark brindle coloring and white markings…..all his tippy toes are white. If it sounds like Elmer may be a fit for your family, please contact us.

More about this rescue

We are not selective about the breed of dog we help. We consider the lives of all breeds to be equal. The labor force behind our mission is 100% volunteer staffed. We save dogs from shelters as well as from owners who cannot care for their dogs any longer. The dogs we take in are placed in loving foster homes until they find their forever home. We do not have a brick and mortar facility; we are 100% foster based including loving fospice for terminally ill dogs. We work to support the local community by providing education on care and treatment of dogs. Promoting safe handling, the importance of vaccinations, heartworm prevention, advocating and providing financial assistance to those in need for spay and neutering. We arrange for community outreach by building kennels and outdoor shelters to get dogs off chains.
