Elmer

No one should have to spend their golden years in a shelter. Elmer is a small senior, weighing just 12.6 pounds, who is hoping to spend his golden years surrounded by comfort, kindness and a loving place to call his very own.
While he waits for his forever home, Elmer is enjoying time in a foster home where he's receiving lots of care and attention.
If you'd like to meet this little guy, please contact our team at stiger@bvspca.org to learn more about Elmer and set up a meet-and-greet.
