Ellie

Miss Ellie is a 7-year-old, 52 lb Cattle Dog who came to us from Southern California. She's a classic cattle dog – loyal, intelligent, and deeply bonded to her people. Ellie thrives when she has structure, clear expectations, and a secure environment. Her cutest trait is her love for stuffed toys; she carries them around the house to show them off, and she promises not to shred them!

Ideal Home

Ellie is looking for a home that truly understands her needs. She is not comfortable around other dogs and prefers to have her space. Due to leash reactivity, she needs a confident handler who can continue working with her and manage her environment. Therefore, a dog-free home is essential for her to feel secure and not worry about sharing her space. Ellie also takes her home seriously and prefers to have her own safe space when new people visit, rather than being asked to interact immediately. With proper management, she does best when she can observe new people at her own pace. Ellie will do best with someone who is physically capable and understands working breeds, someone who can provide both mental and physical outlets to keep her balanced.
