Kelsie has been waiting over three years for her forever home — and at this point, she’s convinced her soulmate got stuck in traffic.
Because truly, how else do you explain a queen like this still being single?
Kelsie is a 7–8 year old, ~50 lb certified Good Girl™ who specializes in loyal companionship, emotional support during TV binges, and staring lovingly at you like you’re the center of her universe. She’s calm, snuggly, quietly hilarious, and honestly just wants her own human to spoil.
But let’s talk about her social life, because this is where it gets fun.
Kelsie LOVES other dogs… the right kind of dogs.
Her foster has been reintroducing her to new canine friends, and she has absolutely flourished. Give her a sweet, gentle, submissive-type pup and she transforms into her best self:
-Playful
-Flirty
-Wiggly
-Bossy in the cutest possible way
Basically, she wants a friend who respects the crown.
A dog who says, “Yes ma’am,” and means it.
Someone who understands that Kelsie runs the vibes and the vibes run smooth.
She may prefer to enjoy her meals and bones in private (every queen needs her dining chamber), but she genuinely enjoys having a dog buddy around — especially one who lets her shine.
When she’s not politely ruling her kingdom, Kelsie can be found:
-Soaking up sunbeams like a solar-powered princess
-Curling into blankets with dramatic elegance
-Following her human from room to room to ensure they’re safe, hydrated, and supervised
Kelsie is fully vetted (as of July 2025), and her adoption fee is completely sponsored — because you shouldn’t have to pay extra to bring royalty home.
If you’re ready for a loyal, funny, slightly sassy, forever-grateful companion… Kelsie is ready to pick her person.
