She was raised with a lab and a cat and gets along with other dogs. She is protective, but not aggressive. She loves people most and really wants to please her owner. She is a typical chessie through and through and responds best to lots of love with clarity of who's in charge. The ideal home would have a fenced yard or lots of open space for her to run around. She needs activity or will be too bored inside all the time. Elsah has lived in a foster home for the past 2 years, but they are no longer able to keep her. The owner was intending to return home and take her back, but his job assigment has been extended. Contact Jennifer(owner's sister) over the phone, or the Owner Alan, via email.
