Elmo

The basics

• Age: 7
• Gender: Male
• Energy Level: Low/Medium
• Weight: 19kg

Elmo was deteriorating in a pound, gravely ill and receiving no treatment. When we were alerted to his situation, we knew we had to act — without intervention, he would not have survived. Leishmaniasis had left his face severely disfigured, and he was in a desperate state when he came to us in April 2026.

He is now undergoing treatment and already showing real signs of improvement. Through all of it, Elmo has remained a gentle, loving, and calm soul — the kind of dog who simply wants to be close to the people who care for him. He has claimed his favourite spot on the bed at the shelter, and he makes the most of every quiet moment.

Health

• Tested positive for: Leishmaniasis (currently undergoing treatment)
• Brucella: To be tested before travel

Compatibility

• Dogs: Gets along well with all dogs
• Cats: Untested

Elmo is a survivor in every sense of the word. He has known neglect and suffering, but none of it has dimmed his gentle spirit. He deserves a calm, loving home where he can finally rest easy — could that be yours?
