Elmer

Elmer is a friendly and sweet 5-year-old Chocolate Labrador mix who is looking for an active forever home! He is fully grown at a perfect 61 lbs. He was originally rescued from Swainsboro, Georgia and is so excited to find his forever family! Elmer is an energetic boy who would thrive in a home with a large fenced yard where he can run around and play fetch all day. He enjoys his toys, particularly his Kong, and loves relaxing on the sofa after a playful day. Elmer is fully house-trained and crate-trained. He is a smart boy who is treat-motivated and responsive to commands. He knows how to sit and is continuously improving on his leash skills with minimal pulling. He would prefer not to share his home with any canine or feline friends as he enjoys being the center of attention at all times. Elmer would do well with older children who can match his energy! This sociable boy enjoys following his foster around both the house and and settles well at night, sleeping soundly on a dog bed in the bedroom. Elmer's foster family says: "He's a happy-go-lucky dog, truly enjoys life to the fullest. His favorite activities are going for walks, playing fetch, and eating. Say the words "walk", "ball" or "eat" and he jumps for joy. He's great on walks and never tires of fetching a ball (or frisbee, or any toy). He equally enjoys his downtime and loves to cuddle on the couch with his family. He's very affectionate and not shy about asking for attention." Elmer is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org** HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!
