Introducing Elphaba, the 8-year-old heartthrob of a dog who has a story that will tug at your heartstrings! 🌟 This sweet girl was saved from the brink, emerging from a shelter where she faced the grim prospect of euthanasia due to heartworm. But, oh, thanks to some courageous rescuers and a whole lot of love, she completed her treatment and is now ready to find her forever home where she can truly unwind and enjoy life to the fullest. Elphaba is the very definition of calm and gentle. A peaceful soul who just loves being near her people, she also has the most heart-melting little noises that she makes when it's time for a potty break or—let's be real—mealtime! 😋 That signature smile of hers? Absolutely irresistible! This lovely lady would thrive in a laid-back home, where she can share companionship, whether with someone who's around often or with another chill doggo. Although she hasn’t been all about that wild playtime with her foster sister, she does enjoy a leisurely run outside. Picture this: a sunny afternoon, Elphaba frolicking and enjoying some gentle exploration, her heart full and her tail wagging. 🌳✨ While she's recently finished her heartworm treatment and is still on the mend, her adventurous spirit can't be contained for long! Elphaba loves to explore but remains a cautious heart—she’s a stellar companion who sticks close to her human and keeps her cool even around other dogs and people. Though she hasn't been tested without a fenced yard, she doesn't seem to mind the boundaries too much. Kind-hearted and nothing short of a people magnet, Elphaba is always ready to offer a warm welcome to visitors with no signs of reactivity. Within the home, she’s as polite as they come—no jumping on furniture for this girl! She thrives on cuddling right up to you, often that sweet pup will find the most comfortable spot—right at your feet or leaning against your legs, soaking up all that affection she so rightly deserves. 🥰 Elphaba walks gracefully on a leash, and you’ll adore those serene strolls together. When introducing herself to other dogs, she’s gracious and curious—preferring to engage in calm encounters followed by a relaxed coexistence. And while she may have heard the hiss of a cat at the vet, she’s never had a feline roommate. 🎉 For all her charm, Elphaba is also clever and quick to learn her basic commands like 'sit' and 'place'. Yet, her greatest desire is simple: to be loved and to love back fiercely! If you’re searching for a gentle, affectionate Doberman who’ll be a quiet, loyal companion by your side, then Elphaba is ready to step into your life.
