As the leaves started to change color, a little sapling began to grow at SNIPSA. But Elm wants to take root in your heart instead!

Born into a litter of eight, this boy has been growing up in foster care for the last few weeks. Most recently, though, he has branched out on his own to connect with a special family! Elm is almost four months old and full of sweet, dopey personality. He enjoys his playtime with other dogs but appreciates an afternoon gnawing on a rope toy or napping on a soft blankie, too. This cutie also loves getting his belly rubbed, and he will be sure to ask for his pets with a goofy smile and an eyebrow raise. Those wrinkles make him a little extra convincing, don’t you think?

Elm’s breed has us stumped, but one thing is for certain: he will make the most loyal companion whom you can depend on! His long legs and floppy ears lead us to believe that he will reach around 50 pounds (or more) once he matures. Just make sure to water him, give him lots of fresh air, and spend plenty of time with him so he can thrive! Welcome in the wrinkles this holiday season. Apply to meet Elm!
