Three years ago, we made the best decision in
deciding to adopt another ESS. Zoey then came to us and is the BEST dog
ever. She is not only beautiful but so well behaved and is loved by
everyone. We can't thank MAESSR and Debbie enough for giving us Zoey. Judy Minnick, NJ

Ella 4's Story . . .
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Original: “This little girl is extremely sweet and cuddly, but she must
get her exercise!”
Ella is a very high energy young girl that would guard things she had stolen.
Her North Carolina family put a lot of work into training her, but just could
not give her the level of activity that she needed. Before things got more
out of hand, they made the difficult choice to let her come to MAESSR.
Ella is a real life example of “girls just want to have FUN!!!” She love
to run and wrestle with the other dogs in her foster home. They start
playing at 5:30 am and stop about 8 pm when everyone passes out from exhaustion.
Ella also likes to chase tennis balls. Her foster mom recommends that her
adoptive home have at least one other dog, preferably more to help keep her
TIRED.
This little spitfire is crate trained and housetrained and will counter-surf
every chance she gets! On a walk she pulls on the leash and definitely
needs some leash training. Obedience training is definitely in her
future. Note that MAESSR will require
the adoptive family to take their new family member through a series of
obedience classes within 90 days of adoption. MAESSR
only places puppies – even older ones – in homes that are committed to training
and bonding with the pup in obedience classes. Puppies require a lot of care,
attention, and patience. MAESSR
believes the decision to get a puppy and raise it to be a healthy, happy, and
well-adjusted dog is a serious commitment.
Ella sleeps on a dog bed in her foster parents’ room at night; she is also
crated sometimes at night.
Once Ella started getting a lot of exercise, her tendency to guard things
disappeared. Her foster mom has taken many things out of her mouth that
puppies should not play with.
This little girl is extremely sweet and cuddly, but she must get her exercise!
She will need a very active family and a fenced yard.
