About Elmo's Breed: Terriers are known for being outgoing, energetic, and fearless. Many are described as “big dogs in small bodies” due to their bold personalities. They are clever and determined which makes them trainable. They thrive with consistent, positive reinforcement. Many terriers are affectionate and loyal to their families, but it is always important to do proper introductions with new people and unfamiliar dogs as they can sometimes be wary of strangers. Elmo's Ideal Home: • A balance of active/calm home where his new family will continue his training and keep him stimulated but be ready for lots of quiet cuddle time too! • A home without very small children, he would do great with kids aged 7+ • A home with other dogs where he can have a playmate or one with a family who is home more often than not • A home with a yard (fenced is preferred) where he can play as he grows up Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: crisisdogsnc/dog-adoption/.
