Shelter Pet Reviews
Brady, Rush, Ella, Tucker, and Harley
Today we have a kelpie, a German Shepherd, a schipperke, and a boxer
Welcome back to the column I refuse to stop referring to as Elisapets, featuring totally objective and unbiased reviews — just kidding I have a lot of very strong, subjective opinions about pets, and am going to share them with you.

You never know who you’re going to meet, and it feels good to visit with animals who need a little extra care and attention.
This week, we sample a nervy husky mix, a subtle young kelpie, a bright German Shepherd, a full-bodied schipperke, and a down-to-earth boxer mix.
