Elsa is a large, female American pitbull looking for her forever family. Elsa is staying with the folks at Potter League for Animals in Middletown, R.I. Once her sterilization is complete, she will be ready for her new home. Will that new home be yours?

According to Elsa's profile on the shelter's website, she is a white, purebred American pitbull who arrived at Potter League for Animals on Dec. 4. She is a young lady - only 1 year and 7 months old!

"I love to run and play," Elsa "wrote." "I am a big girl, so no small children for me! I would most likely do best as an only dog, but staff is working with me on meeting more dogs so you never know! I am available for adoption but cannot go home until I have my sterilization surgery. You can still come in and meet me and fall in love with me!"

Curious about pitbulls? Rachael Ray recently told HNGN's Pet Happy Zone how much she loves her pitbull Isaboo and the celebrity chef had a few things to say about breed discrimination and the bad reputation she says bully dogs don't deserve.
