Plenty of Pets
Ellie is a 12-week-old lab mix weighing in at 17.4 pounds.
Ellie is well on her way to being house trained, but she’s a puppy so she makes some mistakes, and does like to shew.
She lives with other dogs, puppies and cats, and is good with people of all ages.
She needs to be with someone who has lots of time and patience so that she can grow into the best dog she can be.
Ellie is spayed, vaccinated, treated for parasites and micro chipped. She has her eight-week and twelve-week vaccinations. She will require one more vaccination at sixteen weeks, which will be her new owner’s responsibility. She comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. Her adoption fee is $400.
