Elphaba keeps getting left behind... and we truly don't understand why. Poor Elphie just cannot seem to catch a break. She is the LAST of her siblings still waiting for her forever home. And heartbreakingly... she has now been adopted and returned not once, but twice. Elphaba survived unimaginable cruelty back in November when she was rescued as part of a cruelty case. While her physical wounds healed... the emotional scars are harder to see. Elphaba is nervous of strangers at first. New environments and big changes can be overwhelming for her. But beneath that cautious exterior is one of the sweetest, most loving little dogs you could ever meet. And honestly? She tries SO hard. Elphaba spent months in a loving foster home where she learned what safety and comfort felt like for the first time. Then she was adopted. But when the transition into her new home wasn't immediately perfect just a few short days later, she was returned to us. As you can imagine... that was incredibly confusing and heartbreaking for her. Then came a second adopter. They understood she would need time. They were prepared to be patient. And Elphaba WAS adjusting. She WAS bonding. But only 10 days later... she was returned again. Not because she was doing poorly. Not because she wasn't trying. But simply because they had a change of heart. Since November, Elphaba has been bounced around more times than any dog should ever have to endure. And the truth is? All she really needs is stability. Someone who won't give up on her while she learns to trust that she's finally home. Elphaba is 10 months old and weighs about 30 pounds. She enjoys the company of other dogs and is highly food motivated. Once she bonds with her people, she's a total velcro dog!
