UPDATE 8/8/26 ELLIE IS TEMPORARILY ON HOLD AND NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. ORIGINAL LISTING: PLEASE COMPLETE AN APPLICATION IF INTERESTED: saveabowwow.com/rescue/adoption-form If listed, dog is available. Once dog is pending adoption, this page will reflect that information. Kindly, no texts/calls. We are a nonprofit and all volunteers. Please do submit your application for consideration. Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------- Ellie is spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. She will go to her new home with a collar or harness and a permanent rescue ID tag. This tiny little girl is house-trained and gets along well with other dogs. Ellie is an affectionate dog and if given a chance to be a "velcro dog," she would love that! She loves being close to her people and would thrive with someone who enjoys a constant canine companion. She does exceptionally well with her housetraining and prefers going outside, although she occasionally likes using concrete surfaces. If you're looking for a sweet, loving little companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Ellie may be the perfect match. Age Estimate: The shelter originally estimated Ellie to be 1 year old, their veterinarian believed she was closer to 3 years old, and our veterinarian estimated her to be between 1 and 1½ years old. To be safe and transparent, we are listing Ellie as approximately 1–3 years old.

Story
TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE = ON HOLD 8/26/26: If you're looking for a loyal shadow, an enthusiastic playmate for your current dog, and a tiny companion with a giant heart, Dani may be the perfect addition to your family! Dani is a happy, affectionate little girl with a huge personality packed into her tiny 7-pound body! With her long legs and playful spirit, she still has all the fun, puppy-like energy that makes every day an adventure. One of Dani's favorite things is meeting new people. Whether it's a backyard BBQ, family gathering, or friends (preferably dog friends!) stopping by, she's always the life of the party, making her rounds from lap to lap to greet everyone before settling in for some snuggles. When she's outside playing with her family in the yard, Dani loves to run, get the zoomies, and chase after a ball (apartments wouldnt be a good fit). Because she has so much playful energy, she must be adopted into a home with another young, active, playful dog who enjoys wrestling, chasing, and playing throughout the day. She relies on playful canine companionship and would not be happy as an only pet. Dani is still very much a puppy at heart. Like many young dogs, she can become mischievous ...if she's bored. She should not be left unattended with items like phone or charging cords, as she may chew on them. Providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, toys, and a canine playmate helps her channel that energy in positive ways. Dani is a Velcro girl.. She loves being with her people and will happily follow you from room to room. She's incredibly affectionate, loves to cuddle, and thrives on attention.
