Elise

ÉLISE <br/><br/>* McNab Collie mix<br/>* Female<br/>* 2 years old<br/>* 30 pounds<br/>* Vaccinated <br/>* Dewormed<br/>* Spayed<br/>* Microchiped<br/>* Health certificate(if she needs to be transported)<br/>* Good with kids, cats and other dogs.<br/>* Located in HOUSTON Tx. but she can be transported to any state in USA. <br/><br/>Meet Elise<br/><br/>Elise was literally rescued from the middle of the road while I was driving back to Houston. I saw her lying there after being hit by a car. She was confused, extremely skinny, and dehydrated. I gently picked her up, put her in my truck, and brought her all the way from Mexico to Houston. Yes, Elise is proudly Mexican and bilingual hehe.<br/><br/>Once she recovered, she revealed her true self: a sweetheart with paws. Elise is incredibly affectionate, the type of dog that wants to be your shadow. She’ll follow you everywhere and truly believes you are her world. Whether you’re watching TV or just sitting quietly, she wants to be right by your side. Honestly, she thinks she’s a lap dog (haha).<br/><br/>She will be perfect as a support dog. <br/><br/>She’s also an alpha dog, which means she likes to lead and be in charge.<br/><br/>Elise is extremely protective of her family. She will consistently bark at strangers, whether it’s people, other dogs, or even cats, if they from nowhere try to approach if they keep trying to approach despite her warnings, she may snap to protect her space and her people.<br/><br/>We believe this behavior comes from everything she went through in Mexico. It’s very likely that Elise was a ranch dog, living outside in extreme heat, exposed to harsh conditions, and probably mistreated by people. She likely had to defend herself constantly—facing street fights just to survive or find food.<br/><br/>Poor baby, she’s been through so much. That’s why she’s still learning to trust, and she needs someone patient and loving to help her feel safe again.<br/><br/>With that being said, the ideal home for Elise would be one where preferly she is the only pet.<br/><br/>That said, her behavior is totally manageable and fixable if you’re willing to take her to training classes and work with her. A professional trainer evaluated her and said she is totally fine, just need to find a stable home and trust again. She just needs guidance and consistency.<br/><br/>Right now, she’s living with me, a foster family, a couple with two teenagers (16 and 17 years old) and a large Doodle-Poodle mix. They are all free-roaming in the house, they sleep together, and they play. However, it’s important to note that Elise needs time to get to know people and other animals before she can fully trust them.<br/><br/>In her current foster home, the other dog is very goofy, submissive, and easygoing (an Omega dog), which makes the dynamic easier for Elise. But because she likes to lead, she would still do best as the only pet in a home where she can be the center of attention.<br/><br/>Here’s what we know about Elise:<br/><br/>*Kennel trained<br/>*Potty trained<br/>*Low to medium energy<br/>*Quiet, calm, and laid-back<br/>(Protective, affectionate, loyal, and playful<br/>*Alpha personality (she likes to lead)<br/>*Takes treats gently<br/>*Walks perfectly on leash<br/>*EXTREMELY SMART AND INTELLIGENT. <br/><br/>Elise is an extremely intelligent, alert, and quick-learning girl. She is incredibly eager to learn and loves having a job to do. She already knows several commands, including sit, shake, and turn around, and she has an impressive amount of self-control. For example, when you give her a treat, she will wait patiently until you give her permission to eat it.<br/><br/>My 16-year-old son taught her many of these commands, and she learned them incredibly quickly. She is very responsive to direction and picks up new things almost immediately.<br/><br/>Elise is also very fast and athletic. When she runs, she is incredibly quick and agile, which makes me think she could be an amazing candidate for someone interested in advanced dog training, canine sports, or activities that require speed, focus, and obedience.<br/><br/>She also has a very strong sense of smell and natural hunting instincts. She is extremely alert and curious about scents and her surroundings. Because of her intelligence, athleticism, obedience, and natural abilities, I could see her thriving with someone experienced in dog training, canine sports, scent work, or similar activities.<br/><br/>I could even see her being a wonderful companion for someone in law enforcement, firefighting, search-and-rescue, or professional dog training, provided they are looking for a companion with her particular qualities and are willing to continue developing her abilities.<br/><br/>Ellis is truly a special combination of intelligence, loyalty, affection, athleticism, and natural instinct. She has so much potential, and I believe the right person could really help her shine. <br/><br/>Just look at those beautiful reddish-brown eyes and her unique cricket-shaped left ear. Elise is so grateful for life, and she dreams of finding someone who will not only teach her English (haha) but also show her what it truly means to have a family and a loving home.<br/><br/>Why the name Elise?<br/><br/>Elise is the nickname for Elizabeth, which means Godsend. And that’s exactly what I believe she is. Finding her in the middle of the road while I was on my way home wasn’t just a coincidence, it was meant to be.<br/><br/>We can’t give up on her.<br/>There has to be the perfect person or family out there for her, someone who will understand her and love her just the way she is.<br/><br/>After all, there’s always a perfect soul waiting for each of us, and Elise’s match is out there somewhere. We just need to help her find them.<br/><br/>Are you meant to be part of her story?<br/><br/>If you feel like you are the right person for Elise, please contact us at: Creoenti80@hotmail.com<br/><br/>Or fill out her adoption application here:<br/>https://form.jotform.com/211167912746862<br/><br/>And please SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!<br/><br/>Help us find Elise the home she’s dreaming of.<br/><br/>Her story: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/12FjtddKFcC/
