About dogs named Elsie

The following are 15 profiles of dogs named Elsie from our database of 52 dogs with the name Elsie.

• “Elsie is a Service Dog that was bred, raised and trained by Guide Dogs of America. When she is off-duty, she loves running in large grassy areas, which is challenging because she cannot socialize with other dogs and cannot go to dog parks. No food or treats, please, as those interfere with training.“

  — Leo and Celina L.

• “Hi, I'm Elsie, and I love everyone I've ever met :) I also LOVE to play with dogs who are willing to put up with my puppy energy. I am never tired of fetching and, if there's a body of water around, my mom and dad have to drag me out of it, because I LOVE LOVE LOVE to swim!“

  — Laura G.

• “Senior dog, Rally Obedience champion. Trick dog performer and expert trick dog titles. Sweet as sugar. Loves humans, likes calm dogs. Enjoys roaming and sniffing while always making sure that I’m not too far away.“

  — Julie W.

• “I’m a playful lab that happens to be a service dog in training looking to chase some balls and sniff some grass!“

  — jordan c.

• “Hi, I’m Elsie! 🐾 I’m an almost 2-year-old German Australian Shepherd, and I’m one smart (and very energetic!) girl. I love learning new things, figuring out how everything works, and showing off how clever I am! When I’m not busy learning, you can usually find me playing with my favorite toys, chasing my big brother around the yard, or getting my mom and dad to play games with me. I’m always ready for an adventure and never say no to a good time! 💕🐶 I’m happiest when I’m exploring, playing, and spending time with my people. I can’t wait to sniff, run, learn, and make some new memories! 🌿🐾“

  — Olivia S.

• “I'm Elsie and I'm a very smart girl! I love to cuddle with my owners and use my brain to learn tricks and find toys. My favorite thing in the world is playing fetch with my tennis ball and swimming!“

  — Sophie B.

• “Little dog energy in a big package! Loves people, loves to stare into your soul, and she’s got a derpy attitude. She is the follower and doesn’t know how big she is!“

  — Grace J.

• “I’m a total goofball that wants to have fun. I was heartworm positive when my family adopted me so I needed to have exercise restriction for 4 months while going through treatment. I didn’t get to hang out with my friends or run around for a bit so I am working on my social skills again!“

  — Courtney R.

• “We are adopting Elsie tomorrow. I will update this as we get to know her better.“

  — Brenda T.

• “I came here in April 2026 after my dad died suddenly and my mom had to make a lot of life decisions quickly. She asked Beth to let me live with her. At 14, it was a big adjustment, scary too, but I'm pretty happy here“

  — Beth R.
