My story

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

Sweet Elle was rescued just hours before she was to be killed for space at Downey Shelter.  Elle is a sweet girl with lots of energy and an eagerness to please and learn from her owner/handler.  Elle was emaciated when we rescued her and is currently at 54 pounds, but I still think she should gain a few more.  Elle is house trained and crate trained and knows sit well.  Elle is also good walking on a leash, but needs a little more work on pulling.  Elle gets along great with other dogs, but does need a day or two to acclimate to a new one.  She is good with little dogs, but tends to play rough, so a bigger young dog to play with and keep her company would be wonderful for her.  Elle is now spayed, up to date on all vaccinations (including rabies), and microchipped.  Elle does have a very small umbilical hernia that we will have fixed when and if she ever has to undergo anesthesia again (maybe for a dental in future, etc).  We just do not want to put her under again for something unnecessary.  Elle's adoption donation is $450.  If you have any further questions, please call Krissy at (949) 456-7032 or to fill out an application, visit www.greendogfoundation.org.  Thank you for looking to rescue!

Additional adoption info

Adult dogs require a $450 adoption fee. This covers their spay or neuter, vaccinations (including Rabies), and microchipping as well as anything else that the dog may need to bring him or her to the healthiest state possible before adoption (i.e. dental cleaning, tumor removal, rounds of antibiotics, etc.)
