About Papa Elf
Papa Elf loves people and doesn't hide it—he's the definition of a happy-go-lucky companion. His energy is as steady as his affection; expect him to greet you with enthusiasm and maybe a little jump, though his foster folks are helping him with polite hellos. Papa Elf enjoys a good play session, especially if it involves his beloved ducky toy, and he's content curling up in his crate afterward. Grass is his favorite playground, and he responds well to commands. Papa Elf manages a skin condition with a daily pill and special food, which totals about $180 a month. These keep him comfortable and let his personality shine. He's been neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is housebroken. He gets along well with other dogs—introductions are important, but he’s a sociable guy once acquainted. Cats, however, are not his thing. At nearly 13, Papa Elf shows that senior dogs can still bring youthful spirit to a home. Born under the sign of Gemini, it's no wonder he’s lively and adaptable. He’s ready for a stable home where someone sees how much he matters. Click apply to start the adoption process.
