Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Elm, a shy little guy with a ton of potential. It's clear that Elm has experienced things that have made him cautious, and he's taking his time to trust again. But beneath that timid exterior, there's a gentle soul waiting to shine. Elm needs a patient and understanding person who can help him come out of his shell at his own pace. In return, Elm promises unwavering loyalty and companionship. Imagine cozy nights in, with Elm resting his head on your lap, his fears finally soothed by the comfort of a forever home. Adopt Elm and give him the chance to experience the love and safety he deserves.
