Elsa Chihuahua Troy, MI

Hello everybody – I’m Elsa, and am very pleased to meet you. I’m a sweet, young female Chihuahua. You might notice that I look a little different, that is because I am very unique. Not only do I have a curly tail, mouse ears, a silly little underbite and a goofy bunny hop when I run, I am also deaf. Don’t worry though – it doesn’t stop me from having fun everywhere I go.

Although I can not hear where you toss my toys, I find them! My foster parents laugh, because I am definitely the nanny in the house. I love to “tidy up”, and will pile up toys, socks and tennis balls for you. Also, I am not the typical dog that tears up stuffed animals. Like I was saying, I like things in little piles. I’m also potty pad trained, but do best when kept on a potty schedule. Same with my food, I'm a bit overweight, and can definitely use a play partner to shed a few pounds. Life has not always been so kind to me, so it takes me a moment to realize I’m safe. Previously, I was brought into the shelter and was in a lot of pain from an unknown trauma. Everything hurt so bad I couldn’t even move. However, with time, pain medication and love - I’ve been feeling much better!

I recently went to the vet, where they noticed I have a funny bone structure, likely due to malnutrition. Don’t worry though, I am healthy and I feel great! It just means my legs look a little funny when I run – which I do ALL the time. I just LOVE to bounce and play! I’m great with other dogs, kids, and am a little disappointed the cat that lives in my foster home won’t play with me (maybe it is because I “tidy up” and take her mouse toys?). I get along with anyone who takes the time to get to know me.

Also – if you have treats, I’ve got tail wags for you. Snacks are pretty much my favorite thing in the world. It just so happens that I love to give kisses and snuggle too. If you scratch my tummy in just the right spot, my leg gets going and I make a funny face too. It just feels so good to get love’n! I would love a home that appreciates how unique I am, and will be mindful of my special need since I can not hear. Ideally, I will need a fenced in yard, I can be skittish, and will need someone to take the time to let me know their warm presence so I don’t jump. Is there such a home out there, that can love me for who I am?

If you think I might be the gal pal for you, please fill out an app at www.NBSanimalrescue.com. Even if I am not the furry friend for you, would you mind sharing my story? Thanks!

Love,
Elsa
