Elf was a local surrender. He was loved so deeply.

Elf LOVES dogs. He is in foster with large dogs and has had limited exposure to small dogs in our care. Elf has been exposed to cats and shows no prey drive.

Elf is house trained.
Elf will not go into a crate - ever tried to move a Chevy Tahoe with your hands? That's the equivalent of attempting to get him into a crate.

He is not destructive when left out when alone and is given access to 1 room of the home.

Elf sleeps in bed at night.

Elf is a big, goofy, rude boy. He is working on manners - he thinks your food is his food. He thinks everything is his. He is working on leash manners as he loves to pull. Homeboy will not jump into the car - so if you adopt him please bring your muscles to pick him up and put him in your car (he's a big boy) He does stairs well and jumps on the furniture. He navigates the home really well.

Elf was loved for the first year of his life but doesn't appear to have been provided tons of boundaries / structure.

Elf requires
- another prosocial playful dog
- fenced yard

Elf is not an electric fence candidate at this time. Elf is not first time dog owner material.

Elf is such a big, lovey guy, who's next step needs to be his forever stop. He has so much love to give ‍
