ELPHABA

Description

Found alone with her dog bed, near a shelter within a local park, this sweet girl was - in all likelihood - dumped. Her finder made sure to contact our officers as soon as they happened upon her, to come and help her. We can tell you that regardless of how she came to be there, this sweet girl didn’t let one human’s treatment or discard of her shape how she greeted our officer – which at first was one of stand offish, understandable- but when she realized he was there to help, she immediately went into ‘I need a belly rub’ position and this sweet girl loaded right up with him to come to safety. We will let our Animal Control Officers focus on this part of Elphaba’s story while we focus on making the next one for her, a true fairy tale… Happy ending and all! We cannot wait to see her glow up… it is only the good life from here, sweet girl!!! This sweet and resilient 2 year old met a larger neutered male since she has been here with us and she was instant tail wags and sniffs for her new pal! She was super tolerant and loosened right up, ready to play with him! Please come and meet this super sweet little lady in person here at the shelter to see if she is meant to spend forever with your family! We are a first come, first served and in person adoption center. We always recommend meet and greets with and children prior to adoption to ensure a great fit for all, also! Because she was a stray, we don't know how she does with cats and have no way to test for that.All of our adoptable dogs/puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and UTD on all age-appropriate vaccines/preventatives. Adopters will need to establish vet care upon adopting to maintain their new family member’s health and wellness.
