About Elroy

Elroy is a 10-year-old male lab who has faced some tough times but has a spirit that shines through. He came to us in poor shape, missing some teeth and dealing with skin issues from fleas. After treatment, he's improving every day and is in great health, including having gotten bloodwork done for his neutering. Due to damage to his tail, he will need it docked, but that doesn’t dampen his joyful personality. Despite being deaf, Elroy is the happiest dog you’ll ever meet, always greeting you with a smile. Elroy is friendly and gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. He is house trained and ready to find a loving home. If you're looking for a loyal companion who knows how to appreciate life, Elroy is the dog for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
