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.
