Elmer

Meet Elmer and his flying ears! Elmer came to Take Paws in pretty rough shape after being abandoned and tied to a pole, but with a little TLC he’s gained weight and has learned how to dog. Elmer is a little over a year old and 36 pounds of pure wiggle. He’s the sweetest boy and a total goof, known for some killer dance moves and his twinkle toes. Elmer absolutely loves all humans and thinks they are the best thing on earth! He's good with dogs but isn't a fan of cats. Elmer loves doing his zoomies around the yard, sun bathing, and playing with his toys until he’s ready to doze off, preferably cuddled up next to a person. Elmer is kennel trained (although he might show off his beagle voice for a bit) and potty trained. He’s still learning self control on a leash, but that just takes a little practice since it’s new to him. Elmer is ready to find his forever home, where he can run and play to his sweet heart’s content. And you can be sure that Elmer will stick to you like glue! PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to please visit our website to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt **Please do not use the "Introduce Yourself" feature. The information needed to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. An inquiry, question, or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application. All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info would be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the number of introductions/questions received (hundreds daily) we ask you submit an application on our website (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. Please see our website for more information. 2022 Adoption Fee Scale for non-benefactor animals: Puppies under 12 months - $350 Dogs over 12 months - $250 *Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters in Southeast Louisiana, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it’s the perfect match!
