Elsa, who responds to the name Bunny, is ready to find the loving forever home she deserves! Through no fault of her own, Elsa and her canine buddy, Amelia, found themselves surrendered to an Alabama shelter. With adoptions few and far between, their futures were uncertain. Thankfully, K-9 Lifesavers stepped in to give these deserving girls a second chance. Now, Elsa is settling into foster care and showing everyone what a wonderful companion she can be!
A sweet, well-mannered girl with so much love to give, Elsa has all the makings of a fantastic family dog! She gets along with kids of all ages, other dogs, and even cats, making her a great fit for a variety of households. Her foster describes her as super chill in the house, where she loves to lounge around, nap alongside her favorite people, and simply enjoy their company. One of Elsa's best qualities is her ability to match your energy! Whether you're in the mood for a cozy afternoon nap or an adventure in the great outdoors, Elsa is happy to join you. She's even tackled long hikes and runs with no problem!
Elsa has been working hard on her manners and already knows several commands, including sit, down, up, and spin. She also practices waiting at the door until she hears her release word, “free.” She's making progress with “leave it” and will benefit from continued positive reinforcement in her new home. She's a polite housemate, too — no counter surfing or begging for food here! She's fully house-trained as long as she gets outside a few times a day.
On walks, Elsa has made wonderful progress with leash reactivity toward dogs who pull or lunge in her direction. Her foster has taught her to redirect easily, and she continues to do well with the help of treats and consistency. Her new family should be prepared to keep practicing these skills to help her succeed.
Elsa is very relaxes in the house and will just lounge around and sleep next to wherever you are. However, she has a little separation anxiety and needs to be exercised (running around or mental stimulation like training session) before you leave the house for more than an hour at a time. she plays very well in the dog park.
One of Elsa's most wonderful qualities is her versatility. She's just as happy snoozing beside you during a lazy afternoon as she is joining you on a long hike or run. She could be a great match for someone who wants an easygoing companion at home but also enjoys getting outside and staying active. And with her love for people, friendliness toward other animals, and growing list of skills, she has so much to offer her future family!
Elsa's foster has put so much love and effort into helping her become the wonderful dog she is today, and she believes Elsa would make an amazing family companion. Now, Elsa needs someone willing to continue her training, provide enrichment and exercise, and give her the security and companionship she craves.
After everything she's been through, Elsa is ready to leave shelter life behind and discover just how wonderful it feels to truly belong. In return, she promises love, loyalty, and faithful companionship, whether you're hitting the trails together or simply curling up for a nap on the couch.
Apply today and give this very deserving girl the forever home she's been waiting for!
Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
