Meet Eleanor

Eleanor is a sweet, gentle 7-year-old girl weighing about 50 pounds who is learning that people can be kind. She came from an undersocialized background and is still shy around new people and unfamiliar situations, but she is making wonderful progress every day—especially when yummy treats are involved! Eleanor is looking for a calm, patient home where she can settle in and build trust at her own pace. Busy outings, crowded places, and lots of activity may be overwhelming for her at first, so she needs an adopter who will not rush her. With time, consistency, and kindness, Eleanor has the potential to become a loving and loyal companion. She arrived with other dogs, and we would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with your pup
