Story
Ellie is a phenomenal girl and I’m so Devistated to be re-homing her. However she suffered a couple of seizures and requires a home that can be more attentive to her needs and health issues. As a father of 2 small children I do not have the ability to tend to her the way she needs. She is potty trained however still has accident occasionally. She’s great with my kids and has never bit anyone. She has some training up to puppy 2 in Petco and knows basic commands (come, sit, lay down, stay, with me [for her to heel], roll over and wait). She is quite reactive and we have been working with her on that. If you express interest please take great care of her as she deserves the best. Thanks for reading.
