🌟 Meet Elmo, the delightful mixed breed with a heart full of love and some *big feelings* about the world! This charming companion is in search of an adopter ready to set him up for success and offer him the cozy life he dreams of. Elmo is the ultimate cuddle bug, ready to bond deeply with his humans. He craves those warm snuggles after a nice walk, and there’s nothing he loves more than sinking into a couch with a beloved human by his side! 🛋️💖 While Elmo enjoys socializing with friends—both human and canine—he appreciates a calm, quiet home where he can feel secure. Interactions with little ones are a bit too hectic for him, but he’s typically okay with teenagers. 🌈 Time spent decompressing in his new space will be essential as he adjusts to a new routine without overwhelming outings at first. So, think of it like a *love tune-up*—some gentle bonding and confidence-building before he’s ready to hit the town and enjoy the lively life! 🏙️😌 Elmo loves playdates with friends but prefers not to share his personal treasures in his home. He’s been described as house trained and non-destructive—woohoo! This gentle soul is ready to bring joy and warmth into a home that gives him the stability and love he deserves. ✨ So what’s holding you back?
