My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ellie! Ellie was estimated to be 10 years old when she came to BFDR, but neither of her foster Mom’s believe it. They say she can’t be a day over 6! Ellie came to us in pretty rough shape, and kindness was not something she knew. She needed some good food, medical care and a lot of TLC which she received from her foster family. Ellie has since been transformed into beautiful thick shiny coated happy girl who is enjoying the benefits of being a well-loved, spoiled, playful dog. She was left with a slight loss in vision, but you would never know it when watching her play or run around the backyard. Ellie is now ready and looking for a forever home she can call her own.

Ellie has great house manners and is house trained and crate trained. She is a super sweet girl and is happy to sleep in her crate or curled up next to you on the couch. She loves her toys more than anything in life and will gather and hoard them all under the table. Her best friend is a cat and she spends much of her time cleaning said cat! She is not a big fan of sharing her toys so for that reason we think Ellie’s perfect home would have no other dogs and no toddlers who may have a desire to steal her toys!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
