ELMER

Our handsome Elmer is bursting with charm and charisma!  He is a good-natured comedian who has traversed the Rescue Process like a spirited game of hopscotch in which every stop is a grand opportunity to explore the Universe.  

We don’t know Elmer’s history, but if anything bad happened to him, he shook it off in no time. He shows no behavioral evidence of trauma, although he has a suspiciously docked tail that can signify a Hunter’s preference. We know that he was found as a country stray by the Greene County Animal Control Officers in North Carolina. No Owner claimed him.

Elmer’s bum luck finally improved when our shelter contact transferred him to our care. Due to his stellar temperament and personality, Elmer has become one of the superstars in our big dog playgroup. He loves all the dogs that he has met here!

Elmer appears to be a Treeing Walker Coonhound. He lives up to their lovable reputation. He is a medium sized dog, at a lean weight of 45 pounds. His short, flat tri-colored coat is easy to groom with minimal shedding.  Elmer has a big, goofy personality and he loves to play.

Elmer is a very happy-go-lucky guy, and would be a great addition to an active family with older, dog savvy kids.  He is friendly and will give everyone in the family equal attention.  Elmer is not one to play favorites, and he is very stranger friendly.  

He could also join an active single or couple, who can provide at least one to two brisk leash walks daily, as well as focussed play time so that Elmer can get the exercise that he needs to get his yayas out.
