Elia Shepherd & Rat Terrier Mix Sparta, WI

Meet Elia! Elia is a 3 year old mixed breed (DNA Test results pending!) who is approximately 44 lbs and ready for a new family!

Elia was surrendered when her family found themselves without a place to live. She lived in her last home with cats and children, but has not lived with dogs before. While she has 'kennel reactivity' in the shelter environment (and may at a fence line in her own yard), Elia can coexist happily with other dogs who have complimentary personalities and energy levels.

Elia is an excellent adventure buddy! She loves to go walking, jogging, hiking, and loves to play 'catch the water' with the hose - a perfect way to cool off this summer! If you plan to spend your summer enjoying the outdoors, she's your best match!

Elia is crate trained and house broken. We would recommend continuing with a crate in her new home so that she can adjust to the new potty schedule, but she should learn quickly as she's very smart! She already knows Sit, Come, Stay, Shake and Speak, and would love to learn more!

Couch Potatoes need not inquire, but if you like the smart & active babies to join you, Elia would love to meet you! We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved:
