Meet Elsie!

This sweet girl is only 7 months old and was unfortunately on the euthanasia list before making her way to us. Elsie is also a victim of black dog syndrome-a sad reality where black dogs are often some of the last dogs to be noticed, even when they're absolutely wonderful.

Elsie looks like a Flat-Coated Retriever and is such a great girl. She was co-kenneled with two other dogs at the shelter and did fantastic, and since leaving the shelter we've also introduced her to several other dogs. She has done great with every dog we've paired her with so far and absolutely loves to play! Like many young puppies, she can get a little excited and play rough at times, but she responds well to correction and quickly settles back into appropriate puppy play.

One of Elsie's favorite things is fetch. Give this girl a ball and she's in heaven! She would love a family that enjoys playing with her and helping her burn off some puppy energy. She does tire out fairly quickly, so she's also happy to take breaks and soak up some attention in between play sessions.

Being only 7 months old, Elsie is still learning about the world and will need someone willing to continue her training and help her become the best dog she can be. The good news? She's incredibly sweet, smart, and eager to learn.
Elsie is looking for a foster or adopter, and we'll help set you both up for success. We'll provide supplies, support, and training guidance to make sure she has everything she needs.
We know Elsie is going to make an amazing companion-she's just waiting for her person to find her.
