Biography
Elsa's breeder could not afford to do all the extensive testing and diagnostics needed to fix what was broken. She reached out for help.
Sometime in the summer of 2024, Elsa had a medical procedure. What we were told and the evidence on her body did not add up so I'm not going to into that. The breeder refused to tell us which veterinarian did the work (if that was what happened) so we had to go with what was in front of us.
What that was - was a badly scarred esophagus. An esophagus so full of burned tissue that she could not eat. Food could not go down. Elsa weighed 28 pounds the day she was accepted into rescue. She was surviving on 10 raw eggs per day and a milk replacer powder that was mixed with the eggs. She was also being given a daily injection of a drug to help with gut motility. She was dying. Slowly.

We hope to have Elsa healthy enough to adopt by June of 2025.
Sponsorship
Can’t have a dog of your own? Have a soft spot for old, sick or hard to place dogs? It only takes a $30 a month donation for me to be your virtual dog! I need at least 10 virtual adopters (sponsors) to help cover my monthly costs. If I have medical challenges I need even more! The caregivers at Carolina Poodle Rescue will do the rest. Just think, without ever having to leave your home, you can have your very own online dog that will send you update emails, make Facebook posts, and be eternally grateful for your support!
