Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ellie's birthdate is 5/29/20. I've had her since 12/29/20. As of 3/14/24 she weighs 12 lbs. It wasn't an easy decision to rehome her, but I want what's best for her. She loves to go on long walks and "sniffaries" but I'm no longer able to do that. In addition to my health issues, I've had unexpected car repair expenses and haven't had the money to get her annual exam and shots. She knows Off (furniture), Sit, Sit Pretty, Twirl/Spin (standing), Wait, Leave It, & Drop It, but recall outdoors isn't great. She loves to cuddle but won't turn on her back for a belly rub. She's only occasionally been around children, but no issues there. I live in a small apartment and I believe she would be better off in a home with a yard, with maybe another small dog as a companion. She will definitely let you know when someone is at the door and occasionally will bark at unexpected noises. She'll be quick to learn your routine.
