Not available for adoption.
She is a permanent part of ELSA family now, we decided that she will stay with us for the rest of the life, due to her age and health problems.
History
Imagine spending nearly 12 years in the shadows of a shelter, quietly watching other dogs come and go… people passing by your kennel, their eyes never quite settling on you. Your heart hoping, always hoping, for someone to see you.
That was Trudy’s life.
She was the invisible dog no one really noticed. Not the biggest, not the smallest. Not a specific breed. Not the most scared or the most friendly. She was simply… there.
But now? Now she is home, in our family — and she blossemed into the sweetest old lady.
Personality
Trudy loves being around her people. She is the kind of dog who quietly fills your life with warmth and gratitude. She’s a little shy with strangers at first, but she opens up with time and love.
