My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Available after January 2nd 2025**
Ellie is an affectionate, intelligent female dog that is approximately eight years old. This gorgeous girl enjoys cuddles, playing with toys, and having a good run around. Ellie is excellent at going for walks on a leash and has all the basic commands mastered - she knows how to sit, shake-a-paw, lay down, and stay.

We think that Ellie may be a lab shepherd cross. She was found tied to a tree in a local park, so not much is known about her past. However, it is clear that she was well taken care of and is well-trained. She is a respectful dog who is friendly with humans and ignores most other dogs. We have seen some reactivity towards other female dogs, and she does have a tendency to want to jump up on the people she likes - so a little more training would be beneficial.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

At City of Vancouver Animal Services, we have a foster-to-adopt program whereby prospective new owners foster the adoptable animal for 21 days before committing to adoption. This ensures that both the new owner and the adoptable animal are well suited to each other.

Adoption Fee $114
Includes:
-Spay/Neuter
-First set of shots
-One vet visit
-Microchip
-Bag of food

If you live in Vancouver, you will also need to buy a dog license.

More about this shelter

Want to adopt a pet and give them a forever home? We're thrilled! Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.

We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?

We also adopt out small animals including rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
