Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Elli is 100% everything a shepherd should be, not to mention 100% gorgeous! Only around eight months old and perhaps around 50 pounds, she still has a little bit of growing to do but most likely will not grow too much more.
Elli passed her temperament test with flying colors. She is very very human oriented and truly wants to be wherever her humans are. She can be a little bit jealous of other dogs getting attention from her people but otherwise is great with other dogs. Though she didn't know what a crate was when we first rescued her, she know reluctantly goes into her crate for the night and within minutes settles down without a peep. She walks beautifully on lead and knows sit and stay. She probably knows other commands that we have not discovered yet.
We are looking for people experienced with Shepherds to become Elli's new family or "pack." If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting this beauty, you can complete and submit the application from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - found under "Resources" near the top of the home page. Be sure to include information on your experience with shepherds when you fill out the application.
All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live.
Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed, de-flea'd, is up to date on shots, is spayed/neutered, microchipped, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead & collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
