About Elmo

Meet Elmo, a young Black Labrador Retriever who recently came to us from a high-intake shelter. He’s still getting settled and establishing his personality, so our staff will spend time learning about him before updating his profile. His training status is a bit of a mystery right now—house, crate, and leash training are all areas we’ll be exploring. If you're interested in welcoming Elmo into your home, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Keep in mind, our adoption process is first-come, best-match; we don’t have the ability to hold any animals. It’s important for all household members, including kids and any current dogs, to meet Elmo to ensure it's a perfect fit. We often encourage same-day adoptions! Your adoption fee covers Elmo's neuter, microchip, vaccinations, fecal and heartworm testing, and a starter bag of food. Elmo is in Wilmington, DE, and ready to meet his new family!
