About Ellie

It's no stretch to imagine that Ellie grew up in a loving home with her person by her side. She's a girl who likes having a job, and we imagine she happily looked after her person just as they looked after her. Her caregiver probably worked away from the home, not a problem for this house-trained lass who is comfortable spending time alone. Ellie enjoys good walks and playing ball is one of her favorite pastimes. Whether indoors or outside, she absolutely loves her toys. She'll gently paw at you for attention and happily encourage interaction when you're willing, especially during those quiet evening hours before bed. And she does not mind cuddling up in her crate to rest. Her personality is a joy; she is always in a good mood, ready to take a walk, and fun to have in the house. While she sometimes gets excited and even gets the zoomies, most of the time she wants to be on the couch with you, or at least nearby, and she likes belly rubs and head scratches. Ellie is intelligent, eager to learn, and thrives on consistency. She knows her basic commands and quickly picked up "place." She finds shelter life overwhelming and longs for a person of her own. Ellie doesn't need perfection, but she does need someone willing to offer guidance and routine. Ellie will repay your kindness with unwavering loyalty, devotion, and gratitude. She's ready to dedicate her heart to the person who gives her a second chance.
