Ellie is a 3-year-old English Bulldog whose story started out a little rough. She was found wandering as a stray and ended up at the animal shelter in pretty terrible shape. She was filthy, had severe skin infections, and painful infections in both ears. Since coming into rescue, Ellie has been getting lots of TLC, daily medications, and weekly (sometimes twice-weekly) medicated baths. While she still has some healing to do, she's feeling better every day and learning what its like to be loved and cared for.
As her health improves, her personality is really starting to shine. Ellie has discovered that playing is actually pretty fun! When she gets excited and takes off across the backyard, watch out-this girl turns into a flying bowling ball. She loves chasing toys when they're thrown, but retrieving them? Not so much. Typical bulldog logic says the fun part is the chase. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys their company, but like many female Bulldogs, she can be a little pushy at times. Cats don't interest Ellie much, and she mostly ignores the ones in her foster home. Because of her size and enthusiasm when she's zooming around, teens and up would be the best fit. One thing you'll notice right away is how quiet she is. She rarely barks and is generally content to nap, eat, and hang out with her people. And speaking of eating - Ellie absolutely loves food. Meals, treats, snacks... she's a big fan of all of it. Most of all, Ellie loves attention. After spending who knows how long fending for herself, she's finally getting to experience the good life, and she's embracing it more every day. She's learning how to play, how to relax, and how wonderful it is to have people who care about her. Ellie is a sweet, funny little bulldog who deserves a family that will continue showing her just how good life can be.
Ideal Home
Ellie would do well with easygoing or overly friendly dogs who won't mind her sometimes pushy bulldog attitude, or she would be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as an only dog. Due to her size and enthusiasm when zooming, Ellie would do best in a home with teens and up.
