Ellis's Story

Well, hello! My name is Ellis. What's yours? I can be little nervous at first meeting you but give me a chance to warm up and feel comfortable to you I promise I’ll warm up to you and become the friendliest and sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. Let me tell you what I like. I like toys especially balls, food, gentle affection, people, and playing tag. For food, I can eat my food pretty fast so I would benefit from a slow feeder. I would also benefit from exploring, exercise, and leash training. Overall I would say I’m a good boy, so you should take me home with you today!!!!!!<br/><br/>Kids:<br/>8+ kids, object exchange for toys, may chew kids toys<br/><br/>Dogs:<br/>Friendly sniffing, prefers a gentle sniffing partner
