Meet Elmo!

Elmo is a handsome, smart puppy who loves his people and enjoys spending time with other dogs. He’s just as happy curled up in your lap as he is playing with his brothers and sister.

Elmo loves water, is starting to play ball, and thinks stalking his brothers during playtime is great fun. He’s already using the dog door and ringing the bells when he needs to go outside. He’s also learning basic commands like “sit” and is doing great with potty training.

At night, Elmo sleeps in his crate, although if it were up to him, he’d much rather be in someone’s lap.

Elmo is a sweet, clever puppy ready to find his person.
