Elmer, Labrador Retriever For Adoption In Summit, New Jersey

Location:

Summit, NJ

Description:

Here comes Elmer!! Elmer is a beautiful 5-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who is fully grown at about 50 lbs. Elmer was rescued from a kill shelter in Swainsboro, GA and he is so thankful to have been saved. Elmer is the perfect dog for any active family/person looking for a dog to keep up with. He is always ready to have some fun playing fetch or exploring while hiking the woods or a nice stroll on the beach. Elmer needs a fenced-in yard at home where he can run around and play all day long. He will request a partner to play fetch with and has easily mastered the sport. Elmer happily chases the ball (preferably a tennis ball, but he is not that picky) and will bring it right back. Sometimes he needs a reminder to sit before the ball is thrown, but he listens well and will wait for the ball to be thrown. Elmer would do well at home with older children who have active/bigger dog experience. He would also love to go home with other active and playful dogs to keep the fun going even when your arm is tired from throwing his ball. Elmer is so excited to meet his forever family and show them his fetch skills. He is even more excited about all of the adventures and fun to be had. Apply on our site today to begin your adoption application for Elmer! Elmer is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org** HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life! In order to apply for adoption and set up an individual meet and greet with one of our dogs, please visit us at www.hfgdr.org. Find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/HomeForGoodDogRescue.Adoption processAre you interested in adopting one of our rescued puppies or dogs? Great! At Home for Good Dog Rescue, we strive to find you a perfect canine match. In order to do so, we need to learn a little bit about you and your lifestyle. We don’t mean to pry or be nosey, but we must ensure that our rescues are being placed in the best possible home or situation. The following is important information regarding our adoption process, policies, and procedures. Please read each point over thoroughly before submitting your application. 1. All potential adopters must fill out an online adoption application. We have volunteers who work from home to process your application. Please be patient. The application process typically takes 2-5 days. Please fill out the application completely and honestly in order to ensure that your application will be completed in a timely manner. 2. Our volunteers will be contacting all of your references, including your Veterinarian (if applicable) and landlord (if applicable), so please notify them prior to submitting your application to speed up the process. Be sure to check your email, including Spam folder, for a response from Home for Good. All communications regarding your application must go through email. 3. Any pets currently in your household must be up to date with vaccines, including Rabies, and be seen for annual wellness visits. We DO NOT adopt dogs out to homes with un-altered animals. 4. All dogs placed by HFGD are to be house dogs. NO dog will be placed in a home where they will be outside-only dogs or farm dogs. HFGD reserves the right to schedule a home visit to ensure the safety of our rescues. 5. Approved applications are valid for 6 months. After 6 months, you must re-submit an application. This applies to previous adopters as well. 6. Please keep in mind that HFGD may have already received applications on the dog you are interested in. For this reason, the dog you are interested in may not be available once your application is finished being processed. 7. Upon approval and acceptance, you may schedule a Meet and Greet via email only with the dog of your choice, subject to availability. Meet and Greets will be scheduled in the order they are requested. If the dog you applied for is no longer available or is not the right match for your home, HFGD will work with you to find another dog that will be a great fit for you and your family. 8. Please be advised that your entire household, including any canines or caregivers, must be present for the Meet and Greet. HFGD does not allow adoptions as gifts or surprises. The entire household must meet the dog and be in agreement to bringing the dog into the home. NO EXCEPTIONS. 9. Approved Applications do not guarantee adoption. A meet and greet is the final step in the placement of our dogs. HFGD wants to ensure that it is the right fit for all humans and canines involved.Shelter locationPlease take a look at our upcoming adoption events where you can meet our loving adoptable dogs!
