✨ Meet the inspiring Elise! This stunning 12-month-old McNab Collie mix is not just a pet; she's a miracle waiting to find her forever family! 🌟 Discovered lying in the middle of the road, this brave girl was rescued from a life of hardship in Mexico. After being treated for her injuries and nurturing her back to health, she revealed her heartwarming personality: an affectionate little shadow who wants nothing more than to be by your side. At only 25 pounds, Elise thinks she’s a lap dog! 🐾 She'll follow you everywhere, whether you’re binge-watching your latest favorite show or enjoying quiet moments with a nice cup of tea. Oh, and she may have a hilarious knack for trying to sit in your lap, just to let you know she loves you! 🥰 Though she’s incredibly loving, Elise carries some wisdom from her past. She's an alpha dog, which means she enjoys being in charge. While she’s wonderfully protective of her loved ones—barking at any surprise visitors—this behavior stems from her tough upbringing. It's likely she had to fend for herself in other challenging situations. A patient and understanding owner who appreciates her protective instincts will help her learn to feel safe and secure again. 🛡️❤️ Now, Elise would thrive best as the solo superstar in her household, soaking up all the attention and love she deserves! While her current foster family, with teenagers and a gentle Doodle-Poodle mix, has provided her some comfort, she truly blossoms when she knows she’s the only pet in the spotlight. 🌟 Elise is kennel trained, potty trained, and has a low to medium energy level, so she’s not bouncing off the walls. She’s calm, quiet, and even gentle with treats! Plus, she walks impeccably on a leash. Just look at those soulful reddish-brown eyes and that adorable cricket-shaped ear—she's a unique beauty! 🌈 Elise dreams of finding someone who will teach her English (ha!) and offer her the family and loving home she’s always longed for. Why the name Elise? It’s a diminutive of Elizabeth, which holds the beautiful meaning of "Godsend." And isn’t that exactly what she is? 🕊️ Each of us has a perfect match waiting out there, and Elise's soulmate is just a connection away. If her charming spirit resonates with you, take the leap! She needs someone to help write her next chapter filled with love and joy. So, are you meant to be part of Elise's journey?
