About Elmo

Meet Elmo, a delightful mix of Brussels Griffon and Pomeranian, who truly blurs the line between dog and whimsical creature. Found wandering the open fields six years ago, he's a legend in his own right. At 16 years old, or possibly ageless, he's full of unexpected energy and a quirky personality that makes him one of a kind. Recently, after a little health boost, Elmo has returned with even more spirited sass, despite his distinguished age. Living in a foster home, he interacts joyfully with large dogs, cats, and kids without a care in the world. Elmo has embraced his senior status with grace, although he's not always keen on the potty routine. Thank goodness he's now a pro at wearing belly bands, making life simpler and more comfortable for him. Elmo has a laid-back attitude. He’s not looking for glory but seeks a loving home that celebrates his uniqueness. If you've got space for this charming little oddball, he’s eager to bring joy to your life. Elmo is currently in a foster home, so meeting him will require an appointment to coordinate with his caretakers. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
