PA/ELLE L - BRITTANY (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Brittany (medium coat). Meet Elle a sweet & adorable 3 year old female currently in a great foster home in South-West Pennsylvania who is dreaming of a Home of her very Own! Elle was surrendered to NBRAN because her previous family could no longer give her the time and attention she needed. Elle is house and crate trained, up to date on vaccines, spayed, heartworm negative, on prevention, and micro-chipped. Elle came into foster care a bit on the chucky side. Her foster Mom has her on a low fat food plus Elle is getting more exercise running around with her foster brother which has helped to her begin to shed those extra pounds. Elle is wonderful with people, she maybe a little to bouncy and excitable for young children. She really enjoys knowing that her people are close by, as she wants to know that they are ok, but is ok when left home alone in her crate. Elle can be a little timid or defensive with other dogs, especially if they are pushy, but it only takes her a few minutes to warm up and then she wants to play. She hates cats! She enjoys running around, chasing birds and is very respectful of the fence in yard at her Foster’s home. Elle has learned sit, down, off, wait (at the top of the steps, before exiting her crate and at doors to the outside), walks nicely on the leash, and comes when called (most of the time). She does bark at times, like when people walk on the road and she is inside or when the neighbors are outside in their backyard. She usually stops barking when told "enough". If the neighbor comes to the fence to greet her then they are her best buddies. Elle has also been known to counter surfing at times, as well as, chew toys. However, both behaviors have improved greatly thanks to the training and love from her foster Mom. Elle isn’t much of a snuggler she’s usually too busy but in the evenings when she's tired, she will. Elle is your typical Brittany and will need a Forever Home and family who is active as Elle needs a job otherwise she will get bored. She would make the perfect hiking companion but keep in mind she hates water. Her new home should also have another active dog for her to run and hang out with along with a fully physically fenced in yard. Elle is spayed, current on vaccines, heartworm negative, on prevention and microchipped. Elle's adoption fee is 400.00 which will help NBRAN cover the vetting costs and other expenses associated with bringing Brits like Elle back to good health and readying them for adoption.
