We are very happy with our decision to adopt from ARF. It only took one week for Elsa to realize that she wasn’t going anywhere and that she had a forever home. The first few car trips were stressful for her, but she got used to it when she realized she was always coming back home. We are enjoying the process of raising a puppy and I am personally reaping the benefits of the added exercise. Every day we have something to smile about and are looking forward to many years of pet ownership.
