Hi, my name is Elsie and I am an honorary Doberman! I have a clean bill of health, I look pretty and I am very good. Won't you please think about adding me to your family.

Update 10/10/2013 - I'm doing great and my foster family says I'm the best! I am a huge goofball and love to play but when I done I like to cuddle up and just hang out. I told I'm the perfect combination of playful and chill. I love my people, I follow them everywhere they go and just enjoy being a part of the family. I listen well and do as I'm told, but you need to remember to tell me because sometimes I like to see what I can get away with. I absolutely adore my foster brother and sister and we all play really well together. I would love a doggie sibling that is close to my size since I really like to play. But as long as someone plays with me (dog or people) i will be a happy girl. I love most dogs but some dogs rub me the wrong way and I try to take control (small vs large dog doesn't matter, its personality!) - I am a terrier after all and proper introductions are important. I need a good person to help direct me on how I am supposed to act in situations with new dogs. I've improved leaps and bounds and I just need someone who can keep up stick with this game plan. If your calm and in control then so an I! P.S. I adore children but no kitties please, I like to run after those crazy critters.

06/25/2013 - I was picked up as a stray by one of the MDR previous adopters. I had been wondering her neighborhood for some time getting handouts from neighbors. I was very skinny and filthy as could be – but with lots of good meals and lots of shampoo later I am feeling and looking great! My coat is now soft and silky.

Hanging out by the pool and watching televison are some of my favorite hobbies check-out my pictures.

I am very much a puppy at heart but I am doing well with my doggie etiquette; since I am so eager to please I am learning very fast. I have learned sit, down, crate and potty. I am now very polite on the stairs and at the back door to go potty instead of pushing you out of the way. I am very submissive with my foster brother and sister and enjoy playing with them. I LOVE Nylabones and shank bones as well as other toys but since I like to chew, I will destroy all other toys in just a matter of minutes.

ADOPTIONS WITHIN A 100 MILE RADIUS OF THE ST. LOUIS AREA.
