Hello great neighborly people!
The lovely Ellie is looking for an urgent foster home or forever home as her mom is moving to Christchurch soon and cannot take her there:-(
I am currently house sitting for the owner and took care of Ellie for the last 2 months and i can tell you how lovely she is:-) She loves hugs and attention, she loves taking walks and have fun in the river. She is very gentle and nice and very interested to know other dogs. She knows a few commands like heel, sit, wait, come here, go!... but she can learn even more as she proved to be a quick learner.

Is there anyone that can help please? Please give us a message!
Thanks so much !!
