Estelle- Kitchener

My story

Meet Estelle, a sweet, bouncy girl who`s ready to find a family to call her own. This lovely pup has such a happy little spring in her step. Whether she`s wiggling with excitement or patiently (sometimes not so patiently) waiting in hopes that you might have a treat in your pocket (she`s a big fan!), Estelle brings a joy wherever she goes. Estelle can be a little shy when meeting new people or exploring new places, so she`s looking for a kind, patient family that will let her settle in at her own pace. Once she knows she`s safe, her friendly personality starts to shine, and it`s impossible not to fall in love with her. Treats are a fast way to Estelle`s heart and will be a wonderful tool for building her confidence and continuing her training. With a little encouragement, lots of kindness, and a handful of tasty snacks this sweet girl is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.If you`re looking for a new best friend to spoil with treats, Estelle can`t wait to meet you.
