Ellie, adoptable from Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society
“Hi! My name is Ellie and I’m a 7-year-old spayed female mixed nreed. I was adopted years ago from Lucy Mackenzie and recently returned, because I wasn’t getting along well with the other dogs in the house. It was so sad, because my people really loved me and I really loved them, but we all agreed it was for the best.
“The good news is that I like just about every person I meet! I have no problem with people of all ages, and can live with dog-savvy children. I have lived with cats most of my life, too.
“I walk very well on a leash and am an incredibly well-behaved dog. I’m the type of gal that promises to bring a smile to just about anybody’s face.
“You’ll find it hard to believe that I’m 7 years old when you meet me — not only do I look incredibly young, I also act incredibly young. I’m a playful, endearing, sweet dog that just needs to be the only dog in the house.
“If you have been looking for a canine companion to bring lots of love and joy to your life, stop in and meet me today.”
Ellie is up for adoption from Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society, located at 4832 Route 44 in West Windsor and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 12-4 p.m. Lucy Mackenzie is also on Facebook and Twitter and can be reached at 802-484-5829.
Heidi, adoptable from Upper Valley Humane Society
Heidi is a young mixed-breed dog with a lot of potential! She’s smart and likes to learn, and has made good progress here learning to focus and acquire new skills.
Heidi is a high-energy dog who will need an active owner who likes to spend time outside and will continue to help her with training. She would prefer to be the only pet in your family, and would be most appropriate for older children.
Heidi is up for adoption from the Upper Valley Humane Society, located at 300 Old Route 10 in Enfield and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The Upper Valley Humane Society is also on Facebook and Instagram and can be reached at 603-448-6888.
Cleopatra, adoptable from Sullivan County Humane Society

I am vet-checked, spayed, treated for fleas and worms, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and microchipped!”
Cleopatra is up for adoption from Sullivan County Humane Society, located at 145 Broad St. in Claremont. Please see hours on the humane society website at www.sullivancountyhumanesociety.org and Facebook. Call 603-542-3277 or email sullivanhumane@hotmail.com.
