About Elly

Meet Elly, a loving and devoted companion who thrives on human interaction. This charming low-rider, around 5-6 years old and a playful 28 pounds, enjoys soaking up the sunshine and being nearby her favorite people. Elly is not only loyal but also highly trainable; she listens well to commands and is always eager to learn new ones. Elly would flourish in a home where she has room to roam, whether it’s a backyard, patio, or even a sunny spot indoors. Her favorite activities include chasing tennis balls, bird watching from the window, and basking in the sun. While she loves being part of the family, she also appreciates her own space to unwind. On your sick days, this loyal pup will keep you company, showcasing her perfect Zoom etiquette by staying quiet and well-mannered. While Elly has lived peacefully with a toddler and another dog, she can be selective with her canine friends, so she’d likely do best with calmer dogs or as the sole pet. Currently residing in a New York City apartment, her family is seeking a suburban home where she can flourish. If you think Elly could fit into your life, don’t hesitate to reach out!
