This remarkable girl was literally 30 minutes from being euthanized at SEAACA shelter. So many dogs need help, but there was something so special about Elsa. The seas parted and her rescue happened just in the Nic of time. Look at these eyes. She has the best attitude and disposition. Elsa is a lover and looking to have a good time with you. She will be a fantastic partner. Elsa does great being alone, she is crate trained and completely house respectful. At about 2.5 yrs old, and weighing only 51 pounds, she will be your best partner in crime. C'mon with that face. All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@barknbitches.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

American Staffordshire Terrier

🧠 Temperament

Confident, loyal and very people-focused, with the same goofy streak as other bully breeds. Strong-willed but highly food-motivated and responsive to reward-based training.

🎾 Exercise

High — 60+ minutes daily plus mental work.

✂️ Grooming

Minimal. Short coat, occasional brushing, needs a coat in winter.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Elsa does great being alone, she is crate trained and completely house respectful. Frequently caught by building breed restrictions.
