About Elmer
Elmer is a delightful 1-year-old neutered male mixed breed weighing around 32 pounds. This handsome pup is still navigating the world and figuring out what it means to be a dog. Outside, he seems a bit nervous, especially with nearby traffic, but inside, he quickly seeks affection, coming over for pets. He’s still getting used to attention but is warming up nicely, even sharing a few gentle kisses. Elmer can be a bit startled by quick movements or loud sounds. He enjoys treats and takes them very gently, although he may need some guidance on commands; he managed to sit a couple of times but isn't quite sure what’s expected yet. Toys caught his curiosity, but he didn't engage in play just yet. On a leash, he walks fairly well, though he may pull back when nervous—just give him a moment to settle and he’ll be ready to walk again. Elmer will benefit from puppy training, which requires patience and time. While he currently seems non-reactive to nearby dogs, proper introductions will be important, especially if he’s to share a home with other pets. Not much is known about his behavior around kids or cats, so keep that in mind. He’s a sweet boy in need of an understanding and patient home to help him thrive.
