elmer

If you've been looking for your shadow, we found it! Elmer wants absolutely nothing more than being close to his humans. He loves following you to the kitchen and the bathroom, and he loves settling in for a good snuggle even more. If you're really lucky, he'll even snore into your ear.

Elmer has made such a huge transition since moving into foster, it's hard to recognize him. He spent the first five days hiding under a raised dog bed, and slowly but surely made his way out into the world, to the point where he now runs around freely with his foster siblings. He's still a nervous guy, but he is so resilient and wants so badly to live comfortably in our world.

Elmer is about 25lb, 1.5 years old, and loves hard. He loves chewing on a good bone, but snuggling up on the couch is his favorite. He's also a great dancer and will stand on his back two legs, waving his paws for you to catch.

Elmer's family should be prepared to continue working on potty, leash, and crate training. He gets along with other dogs with appropriate introductions, and has not yet met kids or cats. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and on monthly preventatives.

He would benefit from being in a home with another confident canine companion, though this is not a requirement for the right fit.

Please note: Our beagles are former lab dogs. Before you apply, make sure you do your research and understand what that will mean when bringing them home (we're going to ask!). These dogs will need time, patience, and positive reinforcement while they learn to exist in our world.
