Greenwich Kennels

Greenwich Kennels is a pet kennel owned by NuPet. It is where Ella was raised for sixteen years before she was sold to live with John Kimball and his family.

Perfected
Ella was known as Eight during her time at the kennel. It is unknown what her early childhood was like, but it is implied that pets do not receive their training from a teacher like Miss Gellner until they are preteens. Ella grew up being afraid of the red door, where imperfect pets were sent and they never returned. Every hallway in the kennel was identical, with a hallway behind each door with more doors behind which there were small dormitories for each pet. There was also a dining hall, where only healthy "staple meals" were served to keep the pets healthy and slender, as well as a bathing room with many porcelain tubs. All pets wore plain white cotton jumpers during their time there, unlike the ball gowns their owners had them wear.

When Ella and the 19 other pets in her year turned 12, they all got a microchip implanted in their skin by a quick injection. The pets did not know what the bump on their neck was.
