Elsie isn’t just a dog—she’s a whole experience.
At 3½ years old and 50 pounds, this yellow Lab mix brings energy, personality, and a whole lot of heart into every moment. Whether she’s bouncing through the yard like a bunny or keeping watch over her “kingdom,” Elsie makes life brighter, funnier, and full of adventure.
Why Elsie Feels So Special
🐾 3.5-year-old yellow Lab mix
💛 Playful, affectionate, and full of personality
🐰 Adorable “bunny hops” when excited
🎾 Loves pouncing on tennis balls
🚗 Big fan of car rides and adventures
🐕 Social and playful with other dogs
Elsie has that rare mix of joyful energy and loving companionship—she’ll keep you active, entertained, and always smiling.
Her Personality
Elsie is spirited, curious, and wonderfully quirky. She approaches life with enthusiasm and just the right amount of mischief.
🐾 Energetic and playful with a goofy charm
🐿️ Naturally alert—loves watching for squirrels and critters
💛 Affectionate and enjoys being part of family life
🎾 Play-driven but prefers not to share toys
She thrives when she has space to run, explore, and burn off her energy—but she’s just as happy being near her people afterward.
The Active Sweet Spot
Elsie is perfect for someone who wants a dog to do life with. She’s past the puppy stage but still full of energy and excitement, making her an ideal companion for walks, outdoor time, and everyday adventures.
What She Is Looking For
✔️ An active home that enjoys walks, playtime, and outdoor fun
✔️ A securely fenced yard (6-ft rabbit-proof fence required)
✔️ A family committed to continued training and structure
✔️ Calm, tolerant dog companions—or a home where she can shine solo
✔️ A cat-free home (due to high prey drive)
Her Heart & Potential
Elsie is smart, food-motivated, and eager to learn—already making great progress with commands like “heel” and “stay.” She’s crate trained (though clever enough to escape standard kennels!) and continues improving with potty training.
She’s wonderful with children, but her enthusiastic nature means she’ll do best with a family that understands her size and energy.
Heart of Elsie
Elsie is the kind of dog who turns ordinary days into something memorable.
She’ll make you laugh with her bunny hops, keep you moving with her adventurous spirit, and remind you—every single day—what it means to be truly loved by a dog.
If you’re looking for a loyal, lively companion who brings joy, energy, and personality into your life, Elsie might just be your perfect match.
