Ellie

Meet Ellie! This sweet, seventeen-year-old German Shepherd mix is ready for her next chapter. Weighing around 33 pounds, Ellie has a gentle nature and a growing love for the outdoors, especially long walks and beach days. She might have a touch of hound in her, giving her a curious nose and a thoughtful pace. Ellie can be a little timid when she first meets new people, but with a bit of patience and kindness, she opens up into an affectionate companion who enjoys leaning in close. She's comfortable with other dogs and enjoys sharing space calmly, and she's also a good car rider! Ellie knows how to sit with a hand signal and would love to continue learning with positive reinforcement and consistent routines.

Ideal Home

Ellie thrives in a calm, caring environment where kindness is key. She is sensitive to raised voices, so a quiet home would be ideal. She would be compatible with a patient family who can offer gentle guidance, steady structure, and plenty of time outdoors.

Ongoing Health

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

Training & Support

Ellie would benefit from positive reinforcement and consistent routines to help her feel secure. She enjoys learning and would likely enjoy continuing to build on her skills.
