Elmo is a very cute little terrier mix who’s a bit shy, but he warms up quickly. He has very expressive ears that wiggle back and forth, and a wiry coat that has many colors.

Elmo would probably do best in a household with older children because of his shyness.

Elmo is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
