Ebby’s favorite thing, aside from being outside exploring in our fenced yard, is getting attention. Even just sitting with you and sharing your space makes her happy and peaceful. Ebby is the type of dog that will be by your side forever. 

Ebby is a Flat Coat Retriever mix around 5 years old. She is currently at the Good Newz Rehab Center in Smithfield, Va. Ebby is not good with cats.
