Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a puppy, CALL 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm and we will return your call within 24 hours. If you elect to contact us via e-mail it may take several weeks for us to get back to you. Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a puppy. Please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption.
Elinore loves her lap time and is totally sweet and affectionate. We think she is an Australian Shepard/kelpie cross. We think she is about 4.5 months old. She is fine boned and petite and we think will weigh about 35-40# as an adult. Breed is best guess based on what she looks like and the typical breeds from the area, but she doesn't seem to have much of a herding instinct. She is cuddly and playful and should be a good fit in any household.
Elinore and 2 other pups were surrendered to PUP because the family could not afford to care for them. Elinore is the smallest of the three. Elinore is about 90 percent housebroken. She rarely slips up. She walks nicely a leash and has much fun playing with the other pups in the fenced yard. She is thriving in her foster home and is ready to go to her forever home.
The early months are when puppy learns the social skills needed to be a skilled dog in dealing with other dogs and a good citizen in the human world. Adopters should be committed to getting puppy into lots of new and different human social situations, hearing vacuums, trucks, and rattling garbage cans, meeting people who are clapping, laughing, with hats, tools, bikes and skate boards. AND puppy needs many opportunities to meet and greet dogs of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Just sharing a home with another dog is not as much doggie socializing as puppy needs. If good canine social skills are not learned and maintained during these early months, it will be very difficult to ever master them. Puppy play dates, trips to the pet store, puppy socialization classes and later, obedience classes are particularly important. If all this doggie time and involvement seems like a good idea, you are up for a puppy! As always, a tired dog is a good dog.
Elinore has been vet checked, wormed and had routine vaccinations including rabies. The $350 adoption fee (check or cash) includes the cost of pup’s required spay/neuter at 6 months of age provided it is done by one of the PUP vets. We do place puppies outside the metro area but a plan for the required spay/neuter must be in place. We do not ship.
