About Eleanor

Eleanor is a sweet 63-pound Terrier mix who needs a bit of time to show her true personality. She can be shy and nervous when meeting new people, especially if there's a barrier involved, so calm, slow introductions are best for her. Eleanor might get spooked easily, and her first instinct is to retreat when scared. Instead of food, a squeaky toy usually piques her interest. Once she feels safe, she absolutely loves butt scratches and body rubs. This gentle girl takes her time to adjust, and her ideal family will be patient and supportive, allowing her to blossom at her own pace. Eleanor is an adventurous spirit who enjoys exploring the great outdoors, taking in all the sights and smells. If you believe in giving pets the love they deserve, Eleanor could be your perfect match. Her adoption fee is $225 plus tax, which helps cover her care during her stay at the humane society. For Pennington County residents, there's an additional $8 licensing fee at the time of adoption. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
