Elly Bell is an adventurous and enthusiastic young girl who’s ready to bring joy and excitement to her new home! She’s already discovered how wonderful life can be, especially when she’s getting attention from her human friends, whom she absolutely adores.
Elly loves cuddling with her people and will happily lay right on top of them if she can. She’s full of energy, always eager to play, and enjoys romping around and exploring her surroundings. Elly has met kids of all ages and would be a great fit for a family with older children. She’s also been introduced to cats and has done well with them so far.
Elly is a smart and curious pup who listens well when called and loves learning new things—even fun challenges like going up and down slides! She’s house-trained, sleeps soundly in her crate at night, and adores all kinds of toys, especially chewing on rawhides and bones.
Elly hopes to find a loving home where she can share her playful spirit and adventurous nature with a family who enjoys fun and activity as much as she does. Come meet Elly and see if she’s the perfect match for your family!
