Elsa is Your Calaveras County Animal Services Pet of the Week!
Posted by: News_Desk on 01/28/2021 02:07 PM
San Andreas, CA... Meet Elsa, a German Shepherd dog of between five and six years of age. Elsa is unusual in that she is AKC registered and surrendered by her owners. There are many reasons why German Shepherds rate among the top ranks of canine royalty but experts say their defining attribute is above all character: loyalty, courage, intelligence and a willingness to put their lives on the line in defense of loved ones. If you’re looking for a strong, brave dog to protect you and your home, Elsa might just be your girl. She will need a confident owner who understands the breed and can be her alpha since left on her own she has killed chickens and other smaller domestic animals. A good fence will be necessary, too, as Elsa has escaped others, especially when electric batteries were allowed to wear down. To her credit, Elsa’s previous owners reported she was good with their young children and lived compatibly with another dog.
