And heartbreakingly... she has now been adopted and returned not once, but twice.

Elphaba survived unimaginable cruelty back in November when she was rescued as part of a cruelty case.

While her physical wounds healed...

The emotional scars are harder to see.

Elphaba is nervous of strangers at first. New environments and big changes can be overwhelming for her. But beneath that cautious exterior is one of the sweetest, most loving little dogs you could ever meet.

And honestly?

She tries SO hard.

Elphaba spent months in a loving foster home where she learned what safety and comfort felt like for the first time.

Rover's Do Over's Adoption Policy
Every animal in our care is unique and special! We strive to ensure that the animal you are considering is not only a perfect match for them, but also for you and your loved ones. Adoption applications are processed in the order they are received. All of our adoptable animals have received age-appropriate vaccines, been microchipped, and are spayed/neutered. The adoption fees contribute towards covering these necessary expenses. If a dog has not been neutered/spayed due to its age, arrangements will be addressed during the adoption process. Every dog is accompanied by a rehoming contract, and if any circumstances change, the dog must be returned to RDO. We are committed to providing lifelong support to our dogs and their families, ensuring they receive the care & assistance they need. Once you’ve chosen the dog you’d like to adopt, please fill out the adoption application below or email us at roversdoover@gmail.com for an adoption counselor to contact you. Adoption counseling is available to ensure a successful adoption.
