Elly Bell is an adventurous, enthusiastic young girl! She's already found out that life can be so exciting, especially when she can get attention from her new human friends she loves so much.
Elly wants to cuddle with her humans, laying on them if possible. She enjoys rough-housing and romping with her doggie buddies, jumping and barking to get their attention. She is great with big, small, blind, and deaf dogs and just wants to play with everyone. Elly is still working on not jumping on adults, but she has met a lot of kids and has never once jumped on the little ones. She seems to know she needs to be gentle with them. She's also met four cats so far and has done well with them.
Elly wants to please her people, is a great listener when called, and is eager to try challenging new things, even going up and down slides. She's a curious pup who's ready to continue her training and she loves all toys and particularly likes chewing on rawhides and bones. She is house-trained and sleeps in her crate overnight.
Elly hopes for a home with other dogs to play with, kids to run around with and a family who can take her on adventures. Come meet her and see if she's your next perfect sidekick!
