Adopt Ellie a White - with Black Border Collie / Labrador Retriever / Mixed dog

Location:

Bothell, WA

Description:

* KRAKEN CALENDAR FEATURE DOG * Yes, Ellie is in the 2023 Kraken Calendar with Buoy! Animal Profile: Ellie is an estimated 2-year-old female mixed breed (her paperwork says Border Collie but we think McNab possibly with lab or pittie) who was rescued as a stray on the streets of Texas. She currently weighs about 50 lbs. Seattle Foster Update: Ellie is a very fun loving and affectionate dog who is adjusting well to foster care. She has not met a stranger and enjoys pets, belly rubs, and playing fetch with all people. She loves to do zoomies and is so funny when she runs at full speed -- she makes the funniest faces! She is super smart and food motivated which is helpful with training, but she also lacks impulse control (wants to do everything at 110%) so she will need a structured home that can set and consistently enforce boundaries such as being calm coming out of the crate and going through doorways, walking in a structured heel on a training collar, and practicing place in the house. (She is staying in "place" for over an hour at a time, except for when there's some big distraction.)Ellie now has a good foundation and knows loose leash walking with a confident handler, and is crate trained. All she needs is the right home. Ellie loves car rides and playing tug. She is quiet and content in her crate. She loves to play with other dogs but has a rude play style so would do best with a tolerant playful dog in the home, or as the only dog. She has lived with cats in the past but does need a lot of management with them so would do best without cats in the home as well. While she is friendly with children, older kids would be best due to Ellie's size and general enthusiasm for life. Adopter Profile: Large dog experience required Other tolerant dogs considered No cats preferred Older kids OK Fenced yard required Ability to continue with training Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $500, which includes spay/neuter, current rabies/DAPPV/bordetella vaccinations, microchip, health certificate, and heartworm test. All adoption fees are donations to a Washington non-profit corporation and all donations go to benefit the animals in our rescue. Apply online at www.DogGoneSeattle.org Animal History: Ellie joined us from our Texas rescue partner on February 16, 2022. She was fostered in the greater Seattle area and adopted and then many months later returned for being "out of control;" she had not been trained. She is currently in a training savvy foster home and doing great. She is available for adoption in the greater Seattle area. September 10, 2023, 12:32 pm
