About Elsie 34878 Campbelltown ACF
- Best as an only dog
- Open to meet kids 5+ years
- Suitable for apartment living
- Approx. 22kgs
Hi, I’m Elsie!
I’m a sweet, gentle girl looking a patient family who will love me forever. It would be beneficial if my new family has owned dogs before to help me gain some confidence in new environments. I love humans and affection so I hope to take up a spot on your couch so we can watch tv together.
Due to my gentle nature I’d be open to meet kids who’re 5+ years as long as they’ve been around dogs before and will not get too excited around me. I’d love a safe space in the home where I can retreat to when I’m feeling overwhelmed or want to be alone, such as a crate or room just for me!
My carers think I might be suitable to apartment living as the inside, relaxed lifestyle matches my personality. I love going out for a gentle walk but I’m not accustomed to loose leash walking yet. My new owners will have to help me to walk more politely and not pull wherever I like!
I have met other dogs in the facility and I'm very picky with who I do and don't like, so it would be best if I could be the only dog in the household for now until I'm better socialised. If we pass dogs while walking in the street, it’s best not to force me to interact with them as this can be very frightening.
Toys don’t really interest me yet, but I love cuddling and having my tummy rubbed. If I sound like the girl for you, send through an expression of interest below!

Adoption payment can only be made in person at the Animal Care Facility. We do not do adoptions or payments over the phone and require all potential adopters to complete a successful meet and greet with the animal prior to adopting. For dog adoptions, if a dog is to be housed with another dog after adoption a meet and greet between the two dogs must be conducted to ensure they are a suitable match.
When you have selected a pet, you will need to complete an expression of interest form which can be found on the animals profile on our website here:
https://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/AnimalsandPets/AnimalsForAdoption If you are a suitable fit for the animal chosen, a staff member will contact you to organise a time for a meet and greet. Following a successful meet and greet with the animal, we can finalise the adoption paperwork and payment. Dogs and cats are booked into Council's contracted vet for the animal to be desexed typically the next business day. We will transport your new pet to our vet for desexing in the morning. The new owner is to collect the animal from the vets in the afternoon.
Please note that this adoption profile may not be the most up-to-date information available, due to the constant movement of animals into and out of the facility. Please check our council website for the most up to date information:
