My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped. 

* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.



Adoption Fee: $850

 

Elmo is a 1 year old Maltipoo who can’t wait to move into his forever home on Sesame Street! Elmo was rescued with several of his muppet pals when they needed a place to crash. We knew we could find them perfect forever homes so we scooped them up and brought them to our DPS studio! Elmo weighs 11 pounds and is just as adorable as can be. He has a non-shedding coat and is an option for homes with allergies or who just want less hair around the house. Come and meet your new best pal, Elmo, today!

 

 

Elmo is a vibrant, energetic, fun loving adorable pup who is just the best resident of Sesame Street ever. Elmo adores his humans and follows his foster mom around like a cute little shadow. Elmo loves playing with his toys, chasing butterflies across the yard, and generally soaking up life. He loves cuddling and is always happy to park himself in your lap for snuggles and kisses. He is super sweet and affectionate and has a permanent smile on his face. Elmo is the perfect blend of playful and laid back. He’s just happy to do whatever you want to do. Elmo would thrive in a home ready to shower him in love and affection. He just wants to play and explore the world with his lucky forever family. Elmo’s tail wags so much that he is known to accidentally smack people in the legs as he shows off his bright smile. He can also stand on his hind legs and bust a move, so get your disco ball ready! Elmo is just the sweetest pup in the entire world and we know he will be an amazing companion to anyone (but Rocko). 

Elmo starts each morning with snuggles and kisses at 7 AM. He goes outside to potty and then enjoys breakfast before playing with his human foster siblings. During the day, Elmo alternates between hanging out in the house, romping around the backyard, and napping in the sunshine. Once everyone comes home from work and school, Elmo shows off his zoomies and gets tons of belly rubs and kisses. He eats dinner when his foster humans do and then spends the rest of his evening cuddling until he goes into his crate for the night

Elmo currently lives with a resident dog and they get along well. He adores all humans from the young to the young at heart. He loves being chased around and is amazing at being “it” during tag. Elmo walks well on the leash and loves going on walks. He is 80% house trained. Elmo is just a wonderful little pup who can’t wait to meet you! 

 

 

Elmo is an option for homes who have previously owned a dog. Kids should be over the age of 7.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
