Hello my name is Eloise but my foster mom calls me "Ellie" for short. I was a puppy found by a man in the woods and when I was discovered I was completely covered in oil and emaciated. My foster family helped get me all cleaned up and I have gained plenty of weight, so I am a happy, healthy pup now! I have also had a DNA test done, discovering that I am an American Staffordshire T errier/Akita mix. I have been housebroken and trained to go potty on command, and I am also crate trained. I am currently learning "basic commands" like sit, stay, and high five. I'm also trained on how to properly ride in a car. I have been raised for the last month at my foster home with a kitten and three large dogs, which I have learned to get along with. I also go to my foster Mom's work, where I like to play with all the other dogs and kitties. We're still learning how to properly meet new people and animals, which I am doing very well with. I am a very energetic puppy that loves to play "chase" and tug of war, if you like goofy dogs that love to run around and play then I am your girl!! I am also very good about chewing on my own toys instead of furniture and shoes. I have a great personality and I am very smart and easy to train as long as you have a few treats to help me along the way, but I pick up on things quickly and am very eager to learn! I love to take naps, cuddle, and I am a big-time kisser that would love to cheer you up when you get home from a bad day at work!
