Elsa is a one-year-old pit bull mix looking for an active family to love. According to her caretakers, she loves to play fetch with a tennis ball and show her humans how much she loves them. She is great with big dogs, kids and babies but can be selective when it comes to her smaller dog companions. Elsa is spayed and ready for adoption. Her intake number is 363789.
