About Elana

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Meet Elana, a loving momma who’s now ready for her own forever adventure. Rescued with her puppies, she’s spent time in a nurturing foster home, and now she can’t wait to find a place filled with activity, fun, and love. Elana adores playtime with other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine companion, though her high energy may be too much for less active pets. While she can get mouthy with cats when she’s energetic, she hasn’t hurt them and is mostly chill when relaxed. Elana has enjoyed time with children but would do best with older kids as she learns her play manners. With her sweet, friendly, and somewhat submissive vibe, Elana is a social spirit who loves exploring and meeting new people. She can be nervous in unfamiliar settings and needs an attentive adopter who can make her feel safe. Having a yard with a privacy fence would give her a secure spot to let her playful curiosity shine. She’s working on her house manners and will benefit from a family ready to continue her training with patience and consistency. Elana has mastered ‘sit’ and leash walks and is making great progress with crate and potty habits, signaling when she needs to go out but still needing some support. She cherishes affection in the evenings and loves a variety of toys, especially treat puzzles and stuffed animals. Elana is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed. She’s being monitored for a few lumps in her mammary glands and is currently taking Trazodone to help her adapt to home life. If you’re ready to help this sweet, exuberant girl blossom, she promises loyal companionship and plenty of joyful moments. Start your journey together! Apply now.
