If you come to meet Elastigirl, she will tell you what her perfect weekend is. It starts by going to a dog park -- especially Zilker Park. She'll hop in your car, hoping you'll give her a ride to Zilker. Once there, she'll stick her head out the window and gently smile at strangers, and then she'll jump out to roll in the grass and play fetch. So happy to be there!

This sweet girl also loves going for walks. She's very curious at first and will try to pull and sniff everything, but soon calms down. She will make an excellent running partner. Given a slow introduction to new people, she's very calm and gentle with them.

Back home from her trips to the park, Elastigirl cuddles with her fosters to thank them for taking her there. She also wants lots of their scratches, her tail wagging and wiggling all over.

She is a very treat-motivated fast learner, especially when given the peanut butter treats she loves. She understands sit, stay, left paw and right paw. She likes her comfy crate and loves sitting on comfy blankets and pillows there. She's happy to go in and sleep when her fosters are gone. And she is house-trained.

Elastigirl will love to be the only pet in a home with adult parents who are home a lot and give her playtime and those cuddles she loves. She seems to especially love females. Come meet this playful girl. Offer her a cuddle and trip to Zilker and she'll follow you home!
