Story
Viewable in Shelter: Yes, in dog kennels.***Meet Ellie!Ellie is a friendly, excitable girl looking for a new place to call home! She loves to play, is happy to meet new people and enjoys a good snack. This girl also walks like a dream on harness and loves squeaky toys!We have found that Ellie would likely prefer not the share her space with another dog and may do best as the only animal in the home, though with the right dog, she may want to play! Ellie is still working on her manners, and tends to jump up on people when she just can't contain her excitement.She can also be a bit of a scavenger and is definitely NOT to be trusted around garbage cans!***Thank you for your interest in adopting!
