I'm Ellie, the adorable half of the Terrier duo here at SWAT. There must be a little something else, other than Terrier, that gives me soft fur and big, velvet ears. Maybe I'll grow into them or maybe I won't. Humans are thinking Papillon; I'm thinking adorable no matter what I am. Back when my brother and I were smaller, we came across a home that looked rather inviting. We were cold and hungry s o we gladly accepted the invitation. There we stayed for a couple of months until we came to SWAT. Boy, was that a wake up call. First, we got bathes because apparently we were dirty. Who knew? Then we got poked with a needle and were given icky stuff for worms. Yuck...glad we got rid of those. The next day, we were given another poke with a needle and we woke up from a LONG nap. Now, we are ready to find families of our very own and learn how to be the best dogs ever. I'm getting daily lessons on how to walk on a leash. That was scary, but it's becoming more comfortable as the days go on. I love peanut butter. That stuff is sticky and gets up my nose, but it's totally worth. I haven't quite figured out the toys yet, but I think the stuffed hippo and I will be great friends one day...maybe. I'm only 6 months old so there's plenty of learning to do. I am smart and eager so teaching me will be a breeze. One other thing you need to know about me is, I am a cuddle-bug. Oh yeah, wrap me up in your arms and I just melt.
