Elfie!

Elfie A170970
36 lb. spayed female, approx 3 years old

-Terrified but oh so very sweet!
-She seeks comfort in your lap for snuggles
-Gives kisses too!
-Leashes are scary and she needs some work still. At times she needed to be carried but was able to walk all by herself today with some coaxing.
-She’ll eat a treat here and there but definitely not motivated by them
-Not interested in toys currently
-Has two old cruciate injuries causing both knees to turn in. She gets along just fine and it doesn’t appear painful. She can have a happy, normal life.
-Sweet girl who needs time and patience! She’s obviously had a rough start in life and needs to be shown unconditional love and affection!
-She’s hanging out in the vet area with staff and some other doggie pals and gets along just fine with all of them. She will however still need to be introduced to a new resident slowly after decompression!

Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids

•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt

•Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment.

•Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in.

•There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption.

•To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering.

**And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home. Staff will go over how to slowly and properly introduce them after a decompression period.**

•The shelter is open 7 days a week from 10:30-3:30 BUT our adoptions are done 7 days a week from 10:30am -3:00pm.

•The last potential adopter must arrive before 3:00 pm so we have time to properly help you before closing.
