Meet Elsie ❤️, an exceptional Cattled Dog × Lab mix. She is a three-year-old that was recently surrendered to a local veterinary clinic with the intention of being euthanized due to her instinctual tendency to chase livestock, a trait inherent to her breed. This led to concerns from her previous owners regarding liability. Despite this, Elsie exhibits remarkable affection and kindness towards humans and other dogs.
Following her surrender, the veterinary clinic reached out to us for assistance in finding her a new home.
Prior to adoption, we took the necessary steps to rehabilitate and understand her behavior. Over the past month, we have discovered that Elsie thrives on human interaction and affection. She enjoys engaging in physical activities such as running and playing with other dogs.
While she may initially appear nervous when meeting new individuals, she quickly warms up to become a loving companion. We have also observed that she is not destructive or high-energy.
Instead, Elsie is a calm and gentle soul who would greatly benefit from a farm-style setting or a spacious area to roam with her future owners. Ideally, she desires to be by your side, accompanying you on walks. An optimal life for Elsie would be one where she can utilize her herding instincts, a fundamental aspect of her Cattle Dog heritage. She would also appreciate a life filled with snuggles and cuddles.
Ideally, she requires space to roam or an owner who can engage in regular physical activities with her. We were determined to prevent Elsie's euthanization and have made a commitment to find her a forever home where she can be an integral part of the family. If you believe Elsie is the perfect companion for you, please contact us to arrange a meeting.
Note: she doesnt NEED farm, although would be a good ranch hand. She just needs a family that will love her and take her on adventures
