My story

Eel is a stunning brown beauty with a heart of gold. This intelligent and gentle soul is seeking a peaceful haven to call her own. A lover of quiet moments and gentle companionship, Eel is looking for a special someone who can appreciate her calm demeanor and desire for a tranquil life. Eel is a loyal companion who forms deep bonds with her humans. Once she trusts you, her devotion is unwavering. She's looking for a patient and understanding adopter who can provide her with the love, training, and quiet environment she deserves. She has also lived with cats in a previous home! She's a quick learner with a passion for mental stimulation. Currently working with a private trainer, Eel is already mastering commands like sit, down, shake, and place. Her exceptional recall and ability to pick up new tricks quickly make her a joy to train. Imagine the thrill of teaching her new skills and watching her confidence grow! She recently sent the following letter back to us to update us on her progress and wanted to share it with her future family: "I’ve had the opportunity to receive training beyond the APA! walls and am currently living in the Houston area. I like to think of it as “studying abroad!” I’ve received some one-on-one attention from my trainer friend at Gray Wolf Canine Rehabilitation who has helped me further work through some challenges. Now with some extra coursework, I’m ready to graduate out of the sheltering system and into an adoptive home! And as soon as I find a home, my spot at Gray Wolf gives another dog just like me a chance to broaden their horizons! I’ve been working on my dog socialization skills, leash skills, and trust-building with humans. I used to have a hard time meeting new people and getting easily overstimulated, but these days, I’m more centered, confident, and at ease. I’ve been successfully introduced to many different personalities and environments, and now I look to my handler/person for guidance and direction so that our experiences stay positive. My true spunky and fun personality, after decompressing outside of a busy shelter, has really come out!" If you're seeking a sophisticated and intelligent companion who loves to learn and explore, Eel might be the perfect match for you. And if you'd like to read more about the one-on-one attention Eel is getting from her trainer friend at Gray Wolf Canine Rehabilitation head to this blog: https://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/thinking-outside-the-shelter-walls-to-support-dogs-in-need

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Eel, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
