About Elsa

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Meet Elsa! Elsa is a 3-month-old female Great Pyrenees who currently weighs about 23 pounds, but as she grows, she could reach over 70 pounds. Elsa joined rescue as part of an accidental litter and has thrived in a loving foster home since she was 8 weeks old. Elsa is an active puppy, so her future family should be ready for the joys and work of puppyhood including leash training, house training, socialization, and learning that shoes are for walking, not chewing. As a Great Pyrenees, Elsa is both smart and energetic, so it’s vital that her adopters are prepared for her exercise and grooming needs. Her foster mom shares that Elsa is a beautiful, fluffy girl with a calm, sweet, and steadfast temperament. She brings joy wherever she goes and delights everyone with her enthusiastic full-body tail wags, often turning into an endearing wiggle-slide! Elsa’s steady and easygoing nature makes her a genuine comfort in the home; she isn’t bothered by loud noises, thunderstorms, or vacuums. She loves spending time outdoors, enjoying fresh air, and being near her people—whether relaxing beside you or greeting you with her signature wag. Elsa is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea and heartworm prevention. She’s currently fostered in the Orlando area, awaiting the perfect forever home. Adoption is the new adventure! Ready to roll?
