Ellie has the sweetest soul. She came into GDR alongside two puppies who weren’t even hers — and loved them anyway. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about her heart. This SUPER sweet, submissive girl lives for belly rubs and being close to her person. She’s a total Velcro doggy to the max — if you’re sitting, she’s sitting with you. If you’re sleeping, she’d love to be cuddled up right beside you in bed. Your shadow? That’s Ellie. She’s crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained, making her an easy addition to the home. Ellie enjoys playtime too and wouldn’t mind a dog friend her size, especially one who is also submissive and gentle like she is. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will adore you with her whole heart, Ellie is ready to be your constant cuddle buddy.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
