About Ellington

Meet Ellington. This sweet Cocker Spaniel mix came to us from a hoarding situation, but despite his past, he's incredibly loving and just wants belly rubs. Ellington gets along well with other dogs, but he’s still learning about the world, especially leash skills. For this reason, a secure fenced yard is a must for his adoption. He can be a bit shy when first meeting people, so it's uncertain how he would interact with small children. If you're interested in giving Ellington the caring home he deserves, please apply at furkids.org. His adoption fee is $185 since he's a senior pup. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt him. Start your journey together! Apply now.
