My story

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

If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you with his whole heart (and his whole body), Elmo is your guy. This big, gentle, 75-lb lap dog lives for people. His favorite place in the world is pressed up against you: curled on your lap during a movie, leaning in for a hug, or nudging his head under your hand for more pets.

Elmo has a wonderfully expressive tail that seems to have a mind of its own—it wags in happy circles whenever he sees someone he loves (which is… everyone). He’s playful, goofy, and absolutely obsessed with toys. And if you enjoy the outdoors, he’s the perfect adventure partner. Long walks? Trail runs? Forest explorations? He’s all in.

He’s also smart, eager to learn, and knows “sit” and “paw.” With his people-pleasing nature, he’s the kind of dog who thrives on training and wants nothing more than to make you proud.

Elmo needs to be the only pet in the home (no cats or other dogs, please). What he really wants is a human (or a family) all to himself so he can pour all his love into them.

If you’re dreaming of a loyal best friend who gives world-class hugs, keeps you laughing, and snuggles like it’s his job, Elmo is ready to move in and make your life so much sweeter.
