Hi there, I’m Elsa – your future ride-or-die. ❄️🐾 I’m a sleek, smart, just-under-two-year-old pup with a protective heart and a mind that never stops working. I’ve had a bit of a bumpy start—my first adoption didn’t work out. Turns out my spay surgery missed an ovary, which made things a bit more intense for everyone. But that’s all taken care of now, and I’m ready for a fresh start with someone who really gets me. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will have your back 24/7, I might be your girl. I’m alert, responsive, and would make the perfect shadow (or, let’s be real, bodyguard) for someone who works from home, lives a quieter life, or wants to train a dog who’s already halfway there. I’m crate trained and respectful of boundaries—but I’d much rather be close to you. Even in my crate, I feel better just knowing you’re near. I am a bit wary with new people. If someone stares at me or comes in too fast, I let them know I’m uncomfortable—my ridge goes up and I’ll give a sharp bark to say, “too much, too soon!” But if you move slowly, keep your energy calm, and let me take the lead, I’ll learn to trust you—and once I do, my loyalty runs deep. Here’s what I’m hoping for: A confident, calm human who wants a real bond—not just a pet, but a teammate. A consistent home, ideally with just one person or a quiet household. Lots of long walks (I love them!) and time spent with you. A life where I’m not alone too much—maybe I can tag along to work? Or at least be your home office supervisor. I’ve got lightning-fast reflexes, a big brain, and a heart that’s been waiting to belong to someone. I don’t need much—just patience, a little structure, and someone who shows me I don’t have to handle everything on my own. If you’re the kind of person who walks through life with quiet strength and a big heart, I’ve been waiting for you. Love, Elsa
