FROM MY FOSTER FAMILY:
Life at Home
Ellie is a total "A+" student when it comes to house manners. For a young pup, she is remarkably advanced:
Crate Trained & Housebroken: She sleeps soundly in her "house" at night and even runs there happily when she sees her food bowl coming.
The Routine: She eats twice a day (in her crate to prevent "bloat") and is learning to wait patiently while other dogs are served.
Manners: She already knows Sit, Shake, Lay Down, and "House." She's a fast learner who mastered her name in just one day!
Energy & Play
Ellie is a high-energy girl who would thrive with an active owner or a fenced-in yard (at least 1/2 acre) where she can let out her famous "zoomies."
Favorite Games: She is a world-class tug-of-war champion and loves a good Kong toy.
The "ADHD" Charm: She has a typical puppy attention span and a curious mind. She's quiet (she doesn't even bark at the neighbor's cat!), but she does like to stay busy.
Note for Adopters: Ellie is a "heavy chewer," so she prefers metal bowls and tough rubber toys over plastic or plushies.
Social Life
Dogs: She is wonderful with other dogs! She currently lives with five others and loves to play. She would do best with another high-energy, good-tempered dog who can match her play style.
People: She is a "social butterfly" with a sensitive soul.
The Car: Ellie likely has some "car trauma" from her past, but she's getting braver every day. Once inside, she likes to lean against you and put a paw on your arm just to make sure you're staying with her.
Health & Needs
Up-to-date on Rabies and core vaccines.
Tested negative for Parvo and is on monthly heartworm prevention.
Future Needs: Ellie is not yet spayed (estimated to go into heat soon) and will need a microchip to ensure she never gets lost again.
Ideal Home: A family with a fenced-in yard who understands the "puppy brain" of a Pointer/Lab mix. Someone who will continue her training, give her lots of chew toys, and let her lean on them during car rides.
