Story
Get ready to fall in love! Meet Elmer, a stunning 5.5-year-old Chocolate Labrador Retriever mix fully grown at about 60 pounds. Elmer was rescued from a high kill shelter in Swainsboro, GA, where he was scheduled to be euthanized purely for space. For the past 6 months, Elmer has been patiently waiting in his foster home to find the forever family he dreams of.
Elmer is an easy going guy who is a joy to have around. He loves to go for walks, is a huge fan of fetch, and in general is a big fan of toys. As much as Elmer loves playtime or a good adventure, he’s also just as content to curl up on the couch with his foster family to watch a movie or check some emails.
Elmer is fully housebroken and crate trained. He sleeps soundly through the night on his dog bed and is always excited to start each new day with plenty of cuddles and affection! Elmer absolutely loves children though he would prefer to not share his home with any other animals.
Elmer's foster family says: "He's a happy-go-lucky dog, truly enjoys life to the fullest. His favorite activities are going for walks, playing fetch, and eating. Say the words "walk", "ball" or "eat" and he jumps for joy. He's great on walks and never tires of fetching a ball (or frisbee, or any toy). He equally enjoys his downtime and loves to cuddle on the couch with his family. He's very affectionate and not shy about asking for attention."
All Elmer needs now is a forever home to call his own! Apply to adopt him today at www.homeforgooddogs.org!
Elmer is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped.
