Elsa

Meet Elsa, a true Golden Girl with a heart as big as her smile. She has never met a stranger and greets the world with enthusiasm, optimism, and an open heart. Sadly, Elsa’s first family realized that she wasn’t the right fit for the role they had envisioned for her as a service dog. Service-dog training is long and demanding, and while Elsa tried her best, her naturally exuberant personality simply wasn’t suited to that path. As her energy proved overwhelming for the household, the difficult decision was made to find her a more suitable home.<br/><br/>Elsa is everything you’d expect from a young Golden: fun-loving, affectionate, and always ready for adventure. She enjoys long walks, playful romps with other dogs, and the occasional car ride with the wind in her fur. She’s still a work in progress when it comes to training, but she genuinely wants to please — and a tasty liver treat is all the motivation she needs to show off her potential.<br/><br/>In her previous home, Elsa was placed on anti-anxiety medication to help her settle. Our veterinarian feels that, in the right environment, she can be slowly and safely weaned off these meds. Elsa is a high-energy girl who will thrive with daily physical exercise and mental stimulation. Training classes would be a wonderful way to help her channel her enthusiasm and build confidence while strengthening the bond with her new family.<br/><br/>Elsa adores other dogs, and having a well-balanced canine companion to play with and learn from would be a dream come true. When it comes to kids, she would do best with dog-savvy children aged 8 and up who are comfortable around large, energetic dogs.<br/><br/>Are you the patient, understanding home this Golden Girl has been waiting for? Elsa is ready for her fresh start — all she needs is someone willing to see her for the loving, joyful companion she truly is.
