Ellie Mae is a sweet, sensitive girl who forms very strong bonds with her people and is looking for a calm, patient home where she can feel safe and supported. She is currently on medication for anxiety and has shown some improvement, but she still struggles with being left alone and will need a home that can help her slowly build confidence over time. Because of her separation anxiety, Ellie Mae becomes very distressed when separated from her person and will need a home where someone is around most of the time and can work with her on gentle alone-time training. She is happiest when she is close to her person and included in daily life. When she is with her people, Ellie Mae is affectionate, loyal, and very connected to her caregivers. Ellie Mae also has a medical condition affecting the nerves near her face called a trigeminal nerve sheath tumor. This type of condition typically grows slowly, but it can be difficult to treat and will likely require ongoing veterinary care and monitoring over time. Dogs with this condition can still enjoy good quality time in a loving home, but adopters should be prepared for future medical needs. Ellie Mae is looking for a very special adopter who understands sensitive, bonded dogs and can offer her a stable, loving home where she can feel safe, secure, and cared for. She has so much love to give to the right person.
