Ellie

Meet Ellie! This sweet seventeen-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing around 33 pounds, is looking for a loving home to share her golden years. Ellie has a quiet wisdom and a growing love for outdoor adventures, especially long sniff-filled walks and breezy beach days. She might have a touch of hound in her, evident 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 who leans in close. She is neutral with other dogs and enjoys calmly sharing space, and she is comfortable riding in the car. She knows how to sit with a hand gesture and would enjoy learning more through positive reinforcement.

Ideal Home

Ellie thrives in a calm, caring environment where kindness leads the way. She is sensitive to raised voices. A patient family who can offer gentle guidance, steady structure, and plenty of time outdoors would be a great fit.

Ongoing Health

Ellie is experiencing some age-related changes, including vision and possible hearing decline. She also has a benign lump that is monitored. She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Ellie knows how to sit with a hand gesture and would enjoy learning more through positive reinforcement and consistent routines that help her feel secure.
