My story

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

Hi, my name is Elsa, and Im 8 years old. Life hasnt always been kind to me-I spent most of it outdoors, and because of that I developed a severe heartworm infection that has damaged my heart. Im on treatment to help, and Ill most likely need medication and special food for the rest of my life. We dont know exactly how much time I have left, but Im hoping to spend every single day surrounded by love.<br/><br/>Dont feel sorry for me-my spirit is strong, and I still have plenty of tail wags, soft cuddles, and gentle kisses left to share. I absolutely adore children and would be so happy to have little ones to love on. I dont mind other calm dogs either, as long as they understand Im more of a napper than a player these days.<br/><br/>I may be considered a hospice adoption, but what Im really looking for is a family who will make my final years truly golden. Will you be the one to give me the gift of a loving home?

Adoption Requirements:

- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.
- Pet adoption fees range from $60 to $350. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals needing our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for animals available for adoption until we can place them in a loving home. The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand.
