My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Elsa is a calm, loving companion with a gentle nature who exudes an air of serenity most of the time. She adores affection and seeks it out with soft nudges and soulful looks. Although she still has an occasional bout of anxiety, now, with the love and care from her foster parents, these instances have been significantly reduced.

Curious and playful, Elsa is a delight to be around. And her elegance will capture your heart!

Elsa is great with young children, making her an ideal family dog. She has formed a touching bond with her foster doggie brother, which brings her comfort and companionship. The two of them share a room at night in peace and tranquility.

Food-motivated, this girl is easy to train and responds well to basic commands (especially when there's a treat involved!).

She is crate-trained and is making good progress with house-training.

Elsa loves her daily walks and is well behaved on a leash, making outdoor adventures with her a joy.

Oh, and if you happen to have deer in your vicinity, Elsa can be counted on to tell them to move on as she barks at and watches them from a safe distance inside her fenced yard.

Elsa's foster parents named her Elsa because her regal looks and graceful gait reminded them of Elsa the lioness, from the classic film Born Free. Her story is one of hope, transformation, and resilience.

And now she is ready for a compassionate forever home where her calm and loving spirit can shine. If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate companion who will bring unending joy to your life, Elsa might just be the dog for you!

HEALTH
Elsa is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, with no arthritis. She is heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment. Upon arrival into IAR Elsa had been extremely thin, but she has gradually been gaining weight and has regained her health.

HISTORY
Elsa came from a rural shelter.

PHYSICAL
Elsa is a vision of beauty with her large brown eyes and a coat adorned with several shades of brown. She has a bit of white and black on her muzzle.

Adoption Process

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
