Is fostered with another senior male & seems to enjoy the companyCats: cat safe, currently fostered with catsHousing: We are looking to put him in a house with yard or patio spacePersonality: Elmer is a darling dog. He has a very happy-go- lucky personality. He loves going on walks but due to his grade 4/6 heart murmor its 2 houses max to pee, then in the dog stroller or carry sack for the rest of the walk. He loves to snuggle with you on the couch. He will bond quickly with his new owner. He's a lover boy for sure.What we know: found as a stray in terrible condition. We had a dental w/extractions done. He'sbeen neutered and completely vaccinated & microchipped. His bloodwork is good. He is on Vetmedin for his 4/6 heart murmur and we have 6 months of meds to go with him. Elmer is good on leash & loves walks, but unfortunately he can not walk far due to the heart murmor. He wants to go, but you will need to carry him or put him in a doggie stroller for his own good. He loves to go out with you around town also, he's very social and an attention grabber.

How to Adopt from Animals Rule. 1.Find a dog that interests you and submit an application from our "Application to Adopt" icon on our website at www.animalsrule.org. If the dog's picture is on our website it is still available. Our website is ALWAYS current. Elaborate on your application. The more info you give us & explain things the better your chances. We hate yes no answers 2. Come to our adoption event each Saturday from 11am-3pm. If you have another dog, bring it with you. 3. If you live far, please bring pictures (either printed or on the camera) of your home/yard/fencing/gates/& where the dog will sleep, etc. You are welcome to e-mail us pictures before you make the drive for review if you live far. 90% of the time we will still do a home check. 4.You will be interviewed in the order in which your application was submitted. If you do not submit an application before arriving, you are at the end of the line. Submitting an application does not commit you to a dog. You can change your mind at any time. We will review your application and make a decision. If all your ducks are in a row, you can adopt & take the dog home. Come prepared!! E-mail is the best way to communicate with us! info@animalsrule.org is our e-mail address
