All you have to do is a make a little eye contact with Eleanor (aka Ella) to see she has a story to tell. Eleanor is an undisputed gentle soul. Our guess is that she had not had much comfort or care in her life. Until now! Her foster home is making up for lost time by providing all the love and pampering Ella missed over the years.

Eleanor came to us without much pep in her step and clearly not having been exposed to the big, wide world. She is learning quickly - acclimating to car rides, working on her housetraining (she was probably never allowed inside before), relishing good food, good company, and indoor living as she works her way towards optimal emotional and physical wellness. She loves everyone she meets and soaks up every kind touch that she's offered. She does beautifully with her dog foster siblings (and with dogs she sees out on walks) and even coexists harmoniously with the chickens at her foster home. Her foster home includes teenagers (whom she loves) but she does not have any known experience with younger kids. So far, Ella has been a very quiet girl, although we will celebrate it as a confidence-building milestone if/when she finds her voice. The world is Eleanor's oyster (finally). Now all she needs is a guide!

Eleanor was originally found as a stray and came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services where she was a staff favorite!
