Elmo's Story

Meet Elmo, the kind of dog that can go anywhere, and do almost anything! This ten year old loves strutting his stuff down the street, and charming all the people he meets. If he were a human, we'd pretty sure he'd be the sweet old man who lives next door and always says "hello!" in the mornings. He's incredibly affectionate and wants to be up close and personal with his cuddles! Elmo always does a few big stretches a day when he wakes up from his naps and is very curious about the outdoors and sounds. He deserves a loving home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by warmth and care. Consider giving Elmo the loving family he dreams of. To see more of Elmo in action, please follow this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E8gDKjtXI1PfwSM6oeigd9H-kV1DK3IG?usp=drive_link This animal is currently in a foster home! To connect with their foster and schedule a meet-and-greet, email us at adopt@morrisanimalrefuge.org.
