Meet Elmer, a truly special soul with a heart as big as his love for stuffed animals! 🐾 This gentle fellow is calm, shy, and a tad timid, but oh, how he blossoms when given the chance! Imagine welcoming him into your home, watching as he finds his confidence, little by little. It might take some time, but trust that loving Elmer is a journey worth embarking on. Originally, Elmer has shown a unique preference for larger dogs—talk about a specific taste! 🐕 If you have a gentle giant in your family, this could be the perfect match. He’s a bit selective, so introducing him to new canine friends is best done thoughtfully. And while he’s not the biggest fan of outdoor cats, he’s got a soft spot for those who are indoor dwellers. In addition, he gets along splendidly with livestock! You see, Elmer’s had a rough start in life, showing signs of past abuse. Loud noises? They make him jump like a bunny! 🐇 But after he finds his place and settles into a calm environment, the love he offers is unparalleled. He absolutely adores children—especially those who understand boundaries. With the right family, he could thrive! A home where someone is around more often—whether you work from home or are retired—is ideal because Elmer just wants to be by your side. 🥰 He’s crate trained, potty trained, and even leash trained, though car rides can still be a challenge for him. But fear not, as you’ll find that patience leads to loyalty! One of Elmer's quirks? He loves to carry stuffed animals, blankets, or even his beds around like a prized possession. It's one of those delightful details that makes him who he is—an absolute lover! ❤️ In the two years we’ve gotten to know him, Elmer has stolen countless hearts. Are you ready to welcome this lovable guy into your home? Elmer can’t wait to meet you, but remember, you must apply through the Buddy App to start this beautiful journey together!
