Elmo's Story

Do you love a daper, shy, but loving dog? One who can zoom with the best of them? Then Elmo is your guy! Elmo is very slow to warm up and unsure of new people. Once you give him a chance though he is all tail wags, hops, and zoomies.<br/><br/>He is mostly unsure of young children, so he would be best in a home with no kids or older kids.<br/><br/>He’s got a lot of love to give but needs training and patience to get there. In his foster home he’s jokingly called Paul anka. Those Gilmore girl fans understand. Figuring out his quirks is just part of what makes him so fun. I mean look at that face how can you say no?<br/><br/>Fence necessary due to door darting and getting scared and wanting to run<br/><br/>Potty trained<br/><br/>Loves to lay outside<br/><br/>Requires training<br/><br/>If you are interested, complete the<br/>Adoption Application<br/>on our website at<br/>www.NeedyPaws.org<br/>and we will contact you.<br/><br/>Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO.<br/><br/>Elmo’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.<br/><br/>We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes.
