Elmer is a gentle 3-year-old Great Dane mix, a big-hearted boy who came into rescue with his family of puppies. He greets everyone with enthusiastic tail wags and enjoys big leans for affection. If he’s really fond of someone, you might just find him sitting in front of you, offering a paw and rolling over for belly rubs. His love for treats is evident as he takes them gently and sits patiently for his meals. Crate training is a breeze for him, and he appreciates a cozy bed for some well-deserved rest. Currently in foster care, Elmer shares his space with a large female dog, though he can be a tad pushy when vying for attention. With guidance, he responds well to redirection. Tennis balls are his favorite, and he enjoys carrying one around while engaging in playtime. Walking is another highlight for Elmer. He sits to have his leash attached and walks nicely, though he does pull if he sees other dogs or small animals, driven by curiosity rather than aggression. With his size and strength, he’s not a suitable match for homes with small pets, as he's shown a tendency to chase them. Elmer is a healthy, vibrant boy looking for a loving home that will cherish him in return. He has had cherry eye surgery and is neutered, ready for his forever family. This affectionate pup is best suited for a family with children aged 8 and older and is not a fit for homes with small dogs or cats. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
