About Ellington

Adoption Fee: $350
Border Collie / American Bulldog
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

BONDED PAIR 6 yr old Bing Crosby, a chihuahua/rat terrier mix, and Ellington, a 4 month old mastiff/American bulldog mix, are the best of friends. Bing arrived to our Dog Dorm just after a litter of puppies and immediately adopted them. He viewed himself as their big brother & protector. When 3 of the puppies got adopted, Bing grieved and waited at the door for them to return. We've decided we can't take the last puppy, Ellington, away from him. Bing is good with other dogs but doesn't really interact with them; his focus has always been the puppies. For this reason, Ellington & Bing must be adopted together. Wherever one is, the other is generally close by. Ellington is well socialized with dogs of all sizes as well as people; he gets along with everybody! He is playful and active but not obnoxiously so; he wrestles & then is able to chill out and hang with his brother, Bing. When not following Ellington around, Bing very much likes to be held & cuddled. He will roll over on his back and wait for you to pick him up. It's adorable! A fenced in yard is a must for these two and we don't recommend kids under 10 years old ... Ellington isn't quite aware of how big he is (40 lbs currently & likely to be 90+ lbs as an adult) and as he gets older & larger, he would knock smaller kids over. And Bing, although very lovable, is initially a little shy so younger children might be a bit overwhelming for them. These boys bring the best of both worlds ... a small, lap dog to cuddle with and a big, handsome puppy to make you laugh! What more can you ask? The adoption fee for the pair is $350; they are both neutered, microchipped and currrent on vaccinations as well as heartworm preventative. Applications are available at waldosmuttleycrew.org .
