Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi Everybody, Ellie
My name is Ellie and I’m a darling little Bichon girl of three. My foster Mom says that I’m adorable, dainty, calm, sweet and gentle -- and that equals 11.3 pounds of perfection! Ellie
She says to tell you that I get along well with other furkids and with my human brother and sisters. Mom says I’m a calming influence and that I take turns sleeping with each of the kids. I’m also great with Mom’s students when they come to the house for their lessons.
Dad says I’m also friendly with other dogs and that I have a very mellow and friendly personality. Dad says "to know me is to love me." Awww, thanks Dad! Basically, I'm a happy little girl who is alert and attentive, and wants to please.
Mom says I’m friendly and a natural greeter. I love to meet everyone who comes to house and make them feel welcome. I listen for them to arrive - then give them a smile and a friendly wag of my tail! And if there are kids, that’s even better! You see I love kids. Whether at Mom and Dad’s home or at the park, kids find me approachable. I let them come up and pet me (they want to ‘cause I’m so cute) and I’m always calm and gentle with them. Dad says that I am the most trusting furkid he has ever met!
While I’m gentle with kids, I’m not a couch potato. I have a squeaky rope toy that I enjoy and I just discovered tennis balls. I like to carry one around with me when I’m outside. Sometimes I play fetch with either my toy or my tennis ball.
Although I do enjoy playing Mom says I prefer cuddling more. I’m happy to then snuggle up with Mom, Dad or the kids. Dad wants you to know that I am 100% housebroken, love to go for walks and rides in the car. Oh, and guess what, I almost never bark, making me a perfect addition to any home.
So if you have a home with kids and other furkids and are looking for a sweet and mellow little girl to add to your family, then look no further. Just fill out an application and ask for me. I’ll be waiting!
Hugs and cuddles,
Engaging and Enticing Ellie
