Elaine - Shepherd and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Potomac, Maryland

Hello world! My name is Elaine! I'm just a baby, but I'm pretty smart for my age. I know what to do outside: sniff, play and potty! Not saying I'm perfect, but working on it!

ISO: life partner who can provide love, direction, security, snuggles, treats, kisses and more. In no particular order, of course!

My sister, Aviva, and I are learning all the things with our foster family. They have 2 young daughters and we love playing and snuggling with them. The family agrees that we are the sweetest pups ever!

Our goal is to find our forever families in order to free up our fosters, so they can open their home to another pup who is looking for love. And don't be confused - we can absolutely be adopted independently!

And summer is a perfect time to adopt me! What are you waiting for?
