Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Eleanor is an estimated 4-5 year old mix, your guess on her breed is as good as ours, 40lbs, current on vaccines, microchipped, and spayed. The important stuff: she knows all basic obedience (sit, stay, down, shake/paw, back up, wait, on your bed), is crate and house trained (and safe to leave out without being destructive!), and walks well on a leash (she does have some dog reactivity). She needs a home with no cats (she has high prey drive) and is dog selective, so a home without any other animals is ideal. We have gotten her safe with our two old pups, but they leave her alone and we acclimated them over a month.
The cool stuff: This is a FUN dog. She is smart as a whip-she has learned everything we have tried to teach her within one to two training sessions. She loves playing on our agility equipment, loves to fetch, and loves going for walks! She is a perfect energy level-content to snooze on the couch or go for a run, whatever you feel like doing. She lovesss to ride in the car. She is calm and quiet, she doesn’t pace or pant, she will sit right in her seat and just enjoy cruising. She is extremely food motivated! I cannot say enough about how fun this dog is. Think intelligence of a herding dog with the energy level of…not a herding dog 😂. You get the picture.
Eleanor loves her people. When we are in the yard, she is right there with us. She even walks behind me as I mow the grass, back and forth, back and forth. She will happily hang out on the deck with us while we grill or work on projects. She is a Velcro dog in the best way.
A note on her dog reactivity on leash: it is very manageable and she is making great progress with this.
If interested in adopting Eleanor please fill out an adoption application at operationsaveashelterdog.org. Adoption fee $250.
