Ellie's new home!

Here is an update on Ellie, who was adopted from our shelter last week. She was Snow White (one of Lorel's pups) when she was with us. She has already learned her new name, and her family is really happy to have her. She is becoming a very spoiled dog, and is very smart. She has already learned "fetch" and "no". She met all of her extended family on Easter, and her cuteness won over all of them! Her new mom is glad that they saved an animal from the shelter rather than bought one from a breeder. Ellie seems to be a little lazy, and wants to sleep all the time, which suits her family just fine. Many pups can be a little hyper and can be a handful. Ellie has also decided that her new job is to protect the family. She will bark at them if she feels any of them are in any danger. Some of her favorite things are belly rubs, car rides, her new stuffed elephant, baths (believe it or not), and having her hair brushed. The vet said she is very healthy and will likely be a big dog (she weighed in at a whopping 12.5 lbs.). Ellie's mom thanked us for having such a nice facility, and for taking great care of her until they got her. We would like to thank her for giving Ellie a great home!

just another update on ellie, she is growing, and getting big. she is one of the smartest dogs i've ever had, and learns tricks without the use of any treats! she can sit, shake, and we are currently teaching her to put her toys away when she is done with them. She already has her appointment to get spayed as well. I again want to thank you all for taking such great care of my elliebear :)!
