Meet Liv – A Rare Gem Ready to Shine 4.5-Year-Old Female Norwegian Elkhound | Southern NH | Fostered through Critter Cavalry Rescue Little Liv is a beautiful, 4.5-year-old Norwegian Elkhound, a stunning and rare breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and resilience. Liv is the full package—gorgeous inside and out, with a gentle soul that’s just waiting to fully bloom in the right home. After a rough start in life, Liv is learning what it means to feel safe and loved. She’s a sweet, sensitive girl who needs a bit of patience and understanding as she adjusts. Sudden noises or movements can startle her, so a quiet, stable environment is key to her continued progress. But with each day, her true personality shines brighter—especially when she's around her foster Elkie siblings, whom she adores. Liv is house-trained, though it's wise to expect a few adjustment accidents in a new space. She does very well with cats and finds great comfort in the presence of other calm, confident dogs. A fenced-in yard is a must, as Liv loves the outdoors and needs a safe place to decompress. Her ideal home? A retiree or remote worker who can offer her companionship, routine, and plenty of quiet time. She’s not a good fit for apartments, crates, electric fences, tie-outs, or homes with young children—but for the right person or family, Liv will be the most loyal and loving friend. Liv’s stunning coat is starting to glow as she settles in, and her foster is making great progress with brushing and confidence-building. Her rare breed status, sweet nature, and soulful eyes make her a one-of-a-kind companion who just needs the right person to help her thrive. Interested? Apply through Critter Cavalry Rescue, and feel free to reach out with any questions. Liv is currently being fostered in Southern New Hampshire, where she’s patiently waiting for her forever home. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.
