About Elise

Meet Elise, a spirited McNab Collie mix looking for her forever home. This sweet two-year-old girl weighs about 30 pounds and is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. Elise has a beautiful black and white coat with a charming personality that shines through if given the chance. Elise's journey to recovery started when she was rescued from the road after being hit by a car. She was confused and dehydrated but soon revealed herself to be an affectionate dog, ready to be your loyal companion. Elise loves being around people and believes she’s a lap dog at heart, so expect her to follow you everywhere. She gets along well with children, dogs, and even cats, showcasing her friendly nature. However, she’s an alpha, needing a patient owner who can guide her structure and consistency. Her past experiences have made her protective of her loved ones, which means she may bark at strangers. Elise would thrive best as the only pet in a home where she can take the spotlight, allowing her to feel secure and loved. Currently in a foster home, Elise has shown herself to be kennel and house trained, low to medium energy, and exceedingly smart. She already knows basic commands and is eager to learn more. Her athleticism and quick learning make her a great candidate for advanced training or even canine sports. With her intelligence and remarkable instincts, Elise has the potential to succeed in many environments, including working roles in law enforcement or search-and-rescue, provided her handler understands her needs. Just look at those lovely reddish-brown eyes and her cricket-shaped left ear! Elise dreams of a loving home where she can thrive and be part of a family. If you feel you can give her that home, consider reaching out. Let’s make sure her story continues in the best way possible. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
