Queen Elinor

A “shining light” to brighten your life! Meet Queen Elinor! Queen Elinor is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section). Regal yet devoted and friendly, Queen Elinor (shining light in Gaelic) is a black coated shepherd/corgi mix (best guess) and a medium size dog, currently weighing about 33 pounds. At two years of age, she is fully grown. Queen Elinor is a shining light; with her gentle, warm, and loving chocolate brown eyes and affectionate, gentle nature, she will illuminate your life. Queen Elinor takes after her namesake from the movie Brave; she is a loving mother to her pups and an affectionate, gentle, and loyal dog to her people. Now that her pups are bravely venturing away from her, she enjoys cuddle time with her foster family. This petite girl would spend all day on your lap receiving belly rubs if you would let her. Queen Elinor is a playful dog, and she relishes romping with the children in her foster home. She delights in their company and is very gentle with them. She loves to be outdoors, and she would make an awesome hiking and walking buddy who would never complain if you took a wrong turn. Queen Elinor hasn’t been tested with cats or other dogs yet, and we will update this when she has. Queen Elinor is heartworm positive and is currently receiving treatment for this condition which will require a visit in Spokane, WA once a month. Heartworm can be completely cured and does not affect quality of life in any way. All medications, care, and education will be provided by Path of Hope Rescue. Queen Elinor has many skills already. She is crate trained (like any new mom, she appreciates a little quiet time away from the kids), potty trained, sleeps through the night, and walks well on a leash. She understands her basic obedience commands such as sit, off, and gentle; she is smart and learns quickly. Queen Elinor is food and praise motivated, and she delights in making you proud of her. We are currently accepting adoption applications for Queen Elinor. Her puppies will be weaned by about August 6, 2024, and she will be spayed before going to live with her adopter. Queen Elinor’s ideal home? You don’t need a castle to make this pup feel at home; she’s looking for people to love and to love her in return. She’d love some toys and treats, and children would be a bonus for this social girl. Throw in some outdoor adventures and a soft place to cuddle, and you have made her dreams come true.

Your personal Matchmaker will contact you, help you find your perfect pup match, and guide you through the process. Meet your potential pup at the home of the foster family. (The process may differ slightly for long distance adopters.) Bring your potential pup home for a no commitment In Home Trial. In Home Trials are a minimum of (2) nights for a puppy and one week for an adult. Your Matchmaker will check in with you during this time. Sign the adoption paperwork and adopt your new family member! Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue Our adoption process sets us apart. We specialize in learning about you and your family to find just the right fit for you. Our Matchmakers are not only good at what they do; they will also guide you through the entire process. Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs one year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course. Long Distance adopters (one hour or more from Spokane) may choose to travel to Spokane to pick up their dog or use our monthly transport option, Puppy Delivery Express, for an additional delivery donation of $250. Puppy Delivery Express currently delivers dogs throughout Washington and to parts of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. About Path of Hope Rescue At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes. We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experience socialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment. Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog's transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events.
