Meet Elmo!! This handsome boy was found with his three other siblings. We named the the Sesame Street group.
They were living between a feed store and a car lot and breaking into the feed storage sheds getting into the dog food. The babies thankfully, we’re not feral like their parents. The parents are lab and hound and border collie and terrier. What a mixture!!!

Elmo is the largest of the group. You can tell he has not had much socializing yet. This boy is unsure in the beginning, but he will warm up and turns out to be a great boy!!! Elmo will do best with another dog in his forever home to help him gain confidence. Sadly, these poor babies had the slightest clue of what toys are or any of that fun stuff. They will need to learn with their families. They will need obedience training, someone who will be home with them and not leave them more than 3 hrs. a day. We take puppies very seriously and will not adopt to anyone who is not willing to go to training and socialize them properly. Also, we know the holidays are right around the corner, and people will be looking for presents. Our dogs and puppies will not be presents of any kind. Please know we have strict guidelines that we will follow during our interviewing process regarding this matter.

Elmo cannot wait to find his forever family! He will need his time to warm up and gain confidence!!!! This group deserves nothing but love, attention, and patience. Apply for these lovies today!!!
