About OKElmer

Meet Elmer — a gentle 7-year-old Brittany Spaniel and English Springer Spaniel mix ready for a loving home. Weighing about 45 pounds, he’s not the hyper type; rather, he’s sweet-natured and enjoys life’s simple moments. Elmer loves basking in the sun, watching the world through a window, and being close to his people. Elmer is house trained, doesn’t chew, and gets along well with cats. He has a knack for window watching, keeping an eye on local birds and squirrels. Outdoor time is a must for him, as he’s a fan of exploring. A secure fenced yard is important since he’s been known to climb chain-link fences, though he’s just curious about what’s outside. Car rides are a breeze; he’s calm and well-behaved when secured in the back seat. While he walks nicely on a leash, he can be a bit coy when you bring it out. Elmer prefers to be inside with his family instead of being kenneled, as he cherishes the company of his loved ones. Elmer recently completed his heartworm treatment and has a heart condition that requires daily medication. Despite his special needs, his heart is full of love waiting to be shared. He wishes for a peaceful home where he can savor life’s quiet moments. Ready to have a gentle companion? Elmer is here, hoping for a family to share his days with. Could you make room in your heart for this sweet gentleman?
