Elphie's Story

Name: Elphie Male or female : Female Approximate age: 3 years Breed: Aussie mix Weight: 35 pounds Any impairments: blind and deaf Potty trained : Yes Crate trained: yes Good with other dogs: yes Good with cats: don’t know Good with kids: don’t know. But would be best with older kids as she is so shy. Needs fenced in yard: no but does very well with one. Need another dog in the house: no Location: Columbus OH Energy level: low initially and once comfortable in new home, low to medium . Elphie is a very shy dog and initially appears very withdrawn. However, when given time to adjust to her new home and allowed to get comfortable with her new people, begins to show her fun and sassy side. She is blind and deaf but like most dogs with these impairments, can get along and adjust quickly. She loves her cage and uses it like her safe place. Even though it is hers, she does allow a couple of her foster siblings to come in and nap with her. She has recently started chewing on antlers and crinkle animals. She enjoys exploring the yard in the fenced area and gets along well with her foster siblings. She is great about letting me know vocally when she needs to go out and loves peanut butter and treats. She also has started to lay on my legs when I have the footrest extended. If you are looking for a very sweet and loving young girl, please apply through Speak! For The Unspoken. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines. ***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES.

Speak for the Unspoken's Adoption Policy

Before completing our online application please read the following: Our adoption process involves multiple steps and it typically takes up to 2 weeks from the time we receive your application to the time your adoption is finalized. We reserve the right to deny any application without explanation. All of our dogs and/or puppies are in foster homes. We do not schedule “Meet and Greets” without an approved application. Our Adoption Fees start at $325 per dog, $75 per cat or kitten. We can adopt an animal ‘out of state’, but you must be willing to travel to where the pet is being fostered, and transport the animal yourself after the adoption. If you have other animals (dogs/cats) in your home, they must be up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention (dogs), and spayed/neutered. We will verify this with your veterinarian. If your animals are not up to date, your application will be denied. Please make sure to fully complete your application; leaving questions blank or not including all requested information will delay your application. Once your online application is submitted, it can take our volunteers 5 to 7 business days to process it. If we have questions about your application, we will email you. Please make sure to add our email, adopt@speakfortheunspoken.com to your email so our messages do not end up in your spam folder! Once your application is approved by the processors, it is sent to the person fostering the dog you have applied for. They will make the decision on whether the animal that you applied for is the right fit for you and your home. They may also choose to initially contact you via email or phone. If you do not respond promptly to their email or phone call, they will move on to the next applicant. Your application will be saved on file for 1 year and will be used for all dogs you would be interested in that time-frame. No need to keep filling out applications! Adoption application approval means you are approved to adopt an animal from us, it does not mean you are necessarily approved for the animal you applied for. There may be specific circumstances in your home that do not make it a good fit for one animal, but it may be a fine fit for another.
