Story
Elmer is that old grizzled regular at the local bar who seemed hateful, but always had a quarter for a kid to win a prize from the claw machine. Life has made him quick to defend himself so you have to be willing to approach a relationship slowly, once he realizes you have lived life and faced challenges, you two will be trading war stories over a soft blanky in no time. An 8-pound chihuahua mix, we believe him to be approximately 8 years young with a zest for life. Even though he has been said to not like all men, the men he's met so far he's been okay with. He did better while taking pictures with Santa, than most children. Elmer gets nervous in new environments, we think a home with a buddy would be beneficial. Another doggo to help show him the ropes and understand he's safe. Elmer gets along fine with all dogs, big and small in his foster home. Although he is friendly, proper decompression time will be a key to his success. Elmer is reluctant to get in his crate, once he is in it, he will bark and grumble for a short time but will eventually settle down. When he is let out of his crate, he will jump up while walking to the door to go outside to do his business. Elmer shows his affection by covering you in kisses and being super snuggly with his cuddles. He's a dog that doesn't know how to hold his licker... so be prepared for lots of PDA (Elmer's teeth look really good for his age, very little tarter and "decent" breath!) He is definitely a dog that needs time to adjust to change, but once you are in you are totally in, and when he loves you, he loves you with all his heart. Elmer is part of our Home For The Holidays Campaign, and so his adoption fee is 105 all of December. He is neutered, current on vaccinations, Heartworm negative, and he is microchipped. If you would like to meet this cute little guy and possibly add him to your family, please complete an application today. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.
