Elsa IV♀

About

Elsa is a 3-year-old, 27-pound sweetheart. She is heartworm positive, so she must be adopted by someone in the Tampa Bay area willing to use a Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue-approved vet to continue her treatment. Elsa gets along well with other dogs but likes to be the center of attention. If you have another dog that likes the same attention, Elsa might get jealous, but she will not show aggression; she will just climb over your other dog to get to you. She is incredibly affectionate and wants to be in your 'personal bubble' at all times—perfect for someone who doesn't mind a lack of personal space! Elsa wants to be your Shadow and your best friend for life. She will even follow you to the bathroom if you let her. She would love to sleep in bed with you, because all she wants in life is to be loved. While she may take a few days to warm up to strangers, she settled in with her foster family and sitters within two days. She is crate-trained and housebroken, though she may have initial accidents while adjusting to a new environment. Elsa did howl on the first night of her stay at her Foster dogs at her house. But she has not howled since. Please give Elsa at least a week to settle in. She has moved multiple places in the last month, so she gets quite confused. She will warm up to women first, but then will demand attention and belly rubs from men after a week. It is currently unknown how she is with children or cats, but her foster family believes she would make a great family dog. Please note that she pulls on her leash and requires a sturdy harness. She is also very curious about learning how to play with other dogs. She loves to chase tennis balls, but doesn't know what to do with them when she gets them. In a shocking surprise, this beagle is not that food-motivated. She has not tried to eat her foster dog's food. Sometimes she will not eat unless she is in a crate in a room by herself. We believe she's had to fight for food in the past, and has resigned herself to not eating at all if she has to work for it. She is very curious and likes to put her paws up on the counter, but she has not yet grabbed any food off the counter. Elsa is the most lovable, sweetest angel who will look into your eyes and think you are the best gift to her. Will you be the one lucky enough to adopt her?"
