Story
Puppies are so much fun&#44 right? Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Ellie&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m a very fun puppy looking for someone to come and swoop me up and rescue me from this shelter. Iandamp;#39;m a friendly little thing&#44 who loves wiggling and bouncing around when I play&#44 and chasing toys and doing zoomies are my favorite pastimes. I love a good zoomie with a toy in my mouth!andlt;br/andgt; andlt;br/andgt;One thing I can tell you. I do well with other dogs. Iandamp;#39;m very energetic and playful&#44 and some describe me as a rather rowdy gal when I engage. Iandamp;#39;d probably do best with a more confident dog who can kinda instruct me on what Iandamp;#39;m doing right and when Iandamp;#39;m just being annoying. Hey&#44 Iandamp;#39;m super smart&#44 so Iandamp;#39;ll learn quickly. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I am eager to please&#44 and I so want to understand what you like. I will try to give you a kiss if youandamp;#39;ll let me&#44 but a lot of the time Iandamp;#39;ll just wiggle around and hope you are noticing how cute I am. On a walk I really love to stop and look at all the things that nature has to offer. A leaf floating by&#44 a butterfly or bee&#44 a large ant on the sidewalk - all of these things are the best of distractions&#44 donandamp;#39;t you think? You can encourage me to continue along; however&#44 donandamp;#39;t you think the smallest things in life are the best and most interesting?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I hope you are looking into my big&#44 beautiful&#44 soft green eyes and noticing my gorgeous chocolate and white shiny coat. I will dazzle you&#44 so prepare to fall in love when we meet. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Ellie

Story
BORN: 10/21/2024 In January, we got this little girl from a local and reputable breeder of Cocker Spaniels. She came with APR certification and all. But we learned pretty quickly that we aren’t yet ready to have a puppy again (we had to put down our 11 year old Cocker late last year). We also have a 1 year old daughter and our schedules don’t allow for us to train her the way we need to. She is house trained and crate trained (she comes with the crate) apart from a little accident here and there when it rains. Her papers say her name is “Aggi” but we’ve since changed her name to “Piper,” but we’ve never updated her registration. Just send in the papers with a note saying you’re the owners and you changed the name. It’s $25 to do that. She just got spayed on April 10th. Rehoming fee is $450. That’s just because quite a bit of training has gone into her already—including some hired training. You get her toys, crate, food, and anything else we have for her.

Story
Chief is a good boy that loves attention and cuddles. He's also a talker. Potty trained and kennel trained. He's been raised around 6 young kids since he was 8bweeks old. He can be testy around other male dogs. But hasn't had any issues with females. He needs lots of room to run and play.
