This little boy was in a kill shelter in SC and came up to NJ on a transport. I had a bit over a week to get ready for his arrival as he was put in quarantine, vetted and shaved before he would be put on the transport. I put out the Petfinder Listing, started receiving applications almost right away, and finally narrowed it down to one really great family.

Little Mister Elmo arrived in NJ after traveling 2 days being handed off from car to car to car and when I took him from his transport crate, he snuggled into me and my heart melted. I brought him home and my pack greet him with their usual exuberance and then they all went exploring our yard.

Elmo met his new family and everyone loved him and his cutie-pie face. He went home with his new human brother and sister and fur sister. His new mom and dad were also so thrilled with him and I was sad to see him go.

Be Happy, Elmo. Have a wonderful Life.

UPDATE Sept 25, 2010 - 

Elmo's new mom called me today and couldn't be happier with her new boy. She said he is always happy, always wagging his tail and is starting to put on weight and know he is home. 

Here he is with some of his new family, almost one month later.

Hi Lynne!  Just wanted to give you an update on Elmo.  He is becoming more beautiful every week as his fur continues to grow longer.   He  was a cowboy for Halloween and of course his sister Patches was a cowgirl.  I will have my daughter send you pictures from her phone.  He is an incredible jumper, so we have learned not to leave food unattended on the counter.  Don't worry, He's not starving.  He gets lots to eat and loves his bones.  It was very sad in the beginning when we first gave him a bone.  He just licked it.  He had no idea what to do until he watched Patches.  Now he's a pro!  His personality is very loving and affectionate. He is always wagging his tail and loves to meet new people and new dogs.   He LOVES to play fetch and can run like the wind.  Unfortunately, he is very clumsy and often trips over his own feet or runs into Patches.  He brings us lots of laughs and lots of joy.  I hope that you have found many new homes for wonderful and deserving dogs like Elmo.    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Melissa

P.S. Ellie wanted to do a silly pic with Elmo!!!
