Meet Elana – The Sweetest, Smartest Snuggle Bug!

Elana is a curious and playful little girl who’s always on a mission to explore! Whether she’s figuring out how her toys work, following her brother around, or her foster family, she’s always up for a little adventure. Don’t  let her curiosity fool you—she’s just as happy curling up for a cuddle with her humans.

With the  best  puppy eyes you’ve ever seen, Elana will melt your heart in an instant. She’s already puppy pad trained and has a great sense of boundaries, knowing when it’s time to play and when she needs a little “me time” (she’ll even retreat to her pen with her cozy blanket for a nap).

One of Elana’s most special qualities is how well she interacts with other animals. She loves spending time with the resident dog and cat, approaching them with care and respect—never too bold, never too shy. She reads their body language like a pro and adjusts her energy to match theirs.

Above all, Elana is a total lovebug who just wants to be with her people. If you’re looking for a puppy who will brighten your days with playful antics, sweet snuggles, and a heart full of love, Elana is the perfect pup for you!
