Hi everyone, my name is Elmer. Kind of a funny name but I am a funny kind of dog. I am a schnauzer mixed with who knows what. It’s anyone’s guess. Anyhow, I am about 9 months old and as happy as can be. I have that total puppy spirit but I am just as happy to lay around and snuggle. I have had a couple of accidents in the house but my foster mom says that I have improved greatly. I love people and kids, but I would not be good around children under 5 until I can learn how not to use my mouth to play games. I looooooooove toys. The more toys the better. I can amuse myself for hours with them, and I love bones too. I am crate trained but have been left out to roam free a couple of times and ended up chewing on a couple of shoes. But hey,what puppy dog wouldn’t love a good shoe now and then???? My foster dad and I get along really great. He says that I would make a great guy's dog. Something about being so ugly that I’m cute. Whatever that means!!!! He’s just as scruffy as me. As much as I love it here, I am ready for my forever home, I am healthy and up-to-date on all my shots, and I would love for a family to call my own. Only those who are serious and willing to let me be me should call my foster mom Denise at 630-439-6541. My adoption fee is $200.
