My story

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

Notes: 02-13-06 Elvira is a 2 1/2 yr. old owner surrender. She will need to visit our vet, then we will post an update and a picture. She is brown and tan, short haired, a bit overweight. She may weigh about 5 lbs.

Elvira does come with complete vet records and has been on preventative meds for fleas/ticks/heartworms.

We have been advised that she would do best in a home without small children. We have also been advised that she is paper trained, slept in the bed with the guardian.

Note 02-16-06 Elvira did just fine with older children that visited. She takes just a few minutes to warm up, then will doze off in your arms.
She has been doing fine with the other dogs and also does not seem to mind the resident cat.

Note 02-21-06 Elvira was quite the girl about town today. Her first stop was at City Hall, where she was introduced to the Chief. When she grows up, she wants to be a police dog!

From City Hall she walked to the Good Samaritan Care Center. Initially a bit apprehensive, the longer she walked, the more confident she became.

Several residents were gathered in the activity room in preparation to start their BINGO game, thus Ellie got a lot of petting. She then strolled the halls, greeting residents that were in the TV room or still in their rooms.

Ellie rides very quietly in the vehicle, whether on the seat or in a pet taxi.
