My story

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

Meet Elsa ❄️
Elsa is a 2‑year‑old Pointer mix who traveled all the way from Georgia to find her forever family. Her name may be associated with snow, but this is actually her first winter experiencing it — and she has been absolutely delighted, hopping around and exploring like it’s the best thing she’s ever seen.

When we first met Elsa on transport, one thing was highlighted in bold: LOVES KIDS. And it couldn’t be more true. We even saw a video of her with a child, where she happily rolled over at their feet for gentle belly rubs. She’s a soft, sweet soul who thrives on kindness and calm affection.

Though her photos make her look like a big girl, Elsa is actually about knee‑high on most of our staff — that perfect “just right” size for kids to walk, cuddle, and grow up with.

Being part Pointer, Elsa does enjoy watching birds, rabbits, and other wildlife when she’s out and about. She’s observant rather than intense, but adopters should expect a little bit of that classic Pointer curiosity.

Elsa gets along with other dogs, though she prefers canine friends who are more independent. She’s not a rough‑and‑tumble playmate — she’s a snuggler, a leaner, and a companion who wants to be close to her people.
She can be cat‑tested with an approved application.

If you’re looking for a gentle, kid‑loving, snow‑discovering sweetheart who wants nothing more than a cozy home and a family to adore, Elsa might be the perfect match.

Elsa's adoption fee is $175, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1

Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply!
