Elmer Fudd

My story

Meet Elmer Fudd: The Brave and Sweet Doberman Puppy with a Big Heart!Introducing Elmer Fudd, a purebred Doberman puppy who’s already been through quite the journey, but is still full of love and playfulness! At 5 months old and about 30lbs, Elmer is growing into a strong, energetic pup who loves to play with toys, other dogs, and cuddle up with his humans. Despite his tough start, Elmer is an incredibly resilient boy and is ready to find a loving home to continue his journey!About Elmer Fudd: Born: 11.04.24 Breed: Purebred Doberman Weight: Around 30lbs at 5 months old (growing every day!) Personality: Smart, clumsy, and super cuddly! Elmer is a playful puppy who loves toys, other dogs, and snuggling with his people after a day of fun. Health Journey: Elmer has been recovering from osteomyelitis (a bone infection) and is finishing up his antibiotics, with just a little more treatment left to go until the end of April. He’s made great progress, regaining strength and muscle in his hind legs. However, a recent x-ray showed some areas of concern in his femurs. These could be related to the infection or a condition called osteochondritis, and his vet is consulting with the WSU Ortho Department for guidance on next steps. Despite this, Elmer is thriving and still the playful pup he’s always been! Training: Elmer is working hard on potty training and crate training and is making great strides. He’s a smart pup and loves to learn, with plenty of room to grow into a well-mannered companion. Ideal Home: Elmer will do best in a family that’s committed to continuing his recovery and providing him with the love and care he needs to fully heal. He’s a sweet and loving boy who will thrive in a home that can offer him plenty of playtime, cuddles, and support as he grows into a healthy adult dog. Elmer Fudd may have had a rough start, but his resilience and sweet personality shine through every day. With the right family to support his journey, he’ll be a loyal, loving companion for years to come. Want to meet Elmer Fudd?

We specialize in learning about you and your family to find just the right fit for you. Our Matchmakers are not only good at what they do; they will also guide you through the entire process. Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs a year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccinations (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course. Long Distance adopters (one hour or more from Spokane) may choose to travel to Spokane to pick up their dog or use our monthly transport option, Puppy Delivery Express, for an additional delivery donation of $250. Puppy Delivery Express currently delivers dogs throughout Washington and to parts of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. About Path of Hope Rescue At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes. We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experience socialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment. Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog’s transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events.
