About Elsa

Elsa is an absolute gem! She has a wonderful loving nature and thrives on human companionship. This young Australian Shepherd is not just affectionate; she adores children, which makes her a perfect family pet. Having spent time in a busy foster environment in Texas with multiple dogs and young children, she has shown impressive adaptability. She recently stayed with an infant and older child in WA and did fantastic. Elsa is fully healed after her eye removal surgery and is ready to find her forever home. She gets along beautifully with other dogs and even cats, making her a versatile addition to any household. Currently fostered in Tumwater, WA, Elsa is doing great on a leash and communicates in her adorable ways. Though she prefers to go potty off-leash in the yard, she's still house trained. Keep in mind that transitioning to a new home might require a bit of adjustment. She comes from the dedicated rescue team at Shayne's Rescue, and the adoption fee is waived, making it easier for you to welcome her into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
