Elmo is the 3rd dog that has been in his foster home for way too long! He was rescued from a southern shelter where he and his mother and siblings were set to be Euthanized in Sept of 2023. Its been almost 15 months since he was saved His mother two sisters and 3 brothers have all found homes. Now its his turn. Oscar weighs 45 pounds and will be 2 yrs old mid December.

We believe Elmo might just have some Boxer mix in him. He was a bit timid in the beginning, but he has come around to trusting us at his foster home. He loves racing his brother Ernie when tossing toys, especially balls and knotted ropes and playing tug of war with him.

Elmo currently weighs 40 pounds is neutered, tested negative for heartworms, up to date on all vaccines, and he has been on his monthly prevention for heartworms, flea,ticks and parasites.

 

Adoption Fee is $325 to help cover the cost of vetting, neuter, vaccines and preventatives as well as daily needs.
Application must be submitted prior to being considered to adopt.

Application can be found by going to our website at www.ffosk9resq.org.
