Ellie

Meet Ellie!

Ellie is a gentle seventeen-year-old German Shepherd mix with a soft spirit that shines through her sleek black coat and soulful gaze. This sweet girl carries a quiet wisdom and a growing love for outdoor adventures, especially long sniff-filled walks and breezy beach days. She weighs around 33 pounds and may have a touch of hound in her lineage, which shows in her curious nose and thoughtful pace. Ellie can be timid when meeting new people, but with patience and gentle encouragement, she blossoms into an affectionate companion. She is neutral with other dogs and enjoys calmly sharing space. Ellie is comfortable riding in the car and knows how to sit with a hand gesture. She would enjoy learning more through positive reinforcement and consistent routines that help her feel secure.

Ideal Home

Ellie thrives in a calm, caring environment where kindness leads the way. She would be compatible with a patient family who can offer gentle guidance, steady structure, and plenty of time outdoors.

Ongoing Health

Ellie has begun to experience age-related changes, including some vision decline and possible hearing changes. She has a benign lump that is monitored, but she remains bright and engaged on her daily walks. She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Ellie is sensitive to raised voices and would enjoy learning more through positive reinforcement and consistent routines that help her feel secure.
