About Elmo

Elmo has just arrived from a high-intake shelter and is eager to find a loving home. At just 6 months old, this young Black Labrador Retriever is still getting acquainted with his surroundings. Our staff will take the time to learn about his personality as he settles in. He’s neutered and up to date on vaccinations, ready for his new family. Elmo hasn’t met other pets yet since he is pending veterinary clearance, but we can find out more about his compatibility as we continue to assess him. If you're thinking about adopting Elmo, please complete an adoption questionnaire. Remember, our process is first-come, best-match, so don’t wait too long. Make sure all household members—kids and other pets—are present for the meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit. Potentially, same-day adoptions are encouraged!
