Elsie~Adopted

This gorgeous girl was rescued from Baldwin County, and her actual foster wanted to keep her!  Unfortunately she doesn’t feel that now is good time to have a new dog financially.  Details coming soon!Elsie has quite a story to tell. After interviewing her foster Mom, we believe that Elsie has been abused. If you raise your voice, she runs and hides behind furniture. Has she been physically abused? We really don’t know yet. She does not play with toys, but is learning. She is also not used to being with other dogs, but is learning!

Elsie needs an experienced owner who will help expose her to new environments, and raise her self-esteem. Since Elsie has fear-based reactions, she needs an owner who is sure of themselves, and will provide her with the necessary leadership that she needs. Elsie does not need a home where she will be coddled by someone, nor does she need an owner who will make excuses for her behavior (Read “let it go“)

She is being fostered in the Panama City area, but it is our goal to get her transported to us so she can be examined by our vet, and spend a bit of time with our pack. Elsie reminds me of our Shy Sharon, she is so young, and has been mishandled by her human. Elsie deserves our attention, and will quickly be an amazing dog! She will be an easy fix, and having her own pack will be paramount to her success.

You can see more photos of her on Facebook.

We will provide more details shortly!

09/28/14 Update:  Elsie was adopted yesterday by Debbie Fabrizio and her husband of New Smyrna Beach! Debbie owned Shelties in the past, so the drive and intelligence that Elsie has is a perfect match!
