My name is Ellie and I am a beautiful girl inside and out! I have a lot of love to give to my forever family. Since getting to live with my foster mom, I've been able to really come out of my shell. I am a very curious girl and love to explore, and overall I am very well behaved and fully house trained. If I could sit on my foster mom's lap all day, I'd sure be in heaven; add in a blanket and I'll never leave your side! I love humans! When I was saved, I had a broken foot and was in rough shape. Because of that, I'm a little protective of my foot, but I will now let my foster mom rub it and put some oil in it, which keeps my paws nice and soft. My foot is fully healed! I run, jump, zoomie in the yard, and love the snow. The only reason you'd know I was hurt is when I get a little stiffness at night. I am good at commands and know sit, kennel, stay, wait, no, and shake!
Ideal Home
I would do best in a home with older children, as I don't live with any kids currently but my foster mom thinks I'd do just fine with those that are a little older. I do not enjoy the company of other dogs, so when we walk I get a little anxious and bark. With some guidance, I can redirect and continue on our way. If I am having a really hard time with a certain dog, we turn around and decompress. I love walks so I hope my new forever home keeps working on this with me so I can continue to enjoy what I love most: being out in the world with humans! I don't love it when my humans leave me.
Ongoing Health
I had a broken foot that is now fully healed. I may experience a little stiffness at night.
Training & Support
I am a bit anxious around other dogs and will bark. My foster mom uses a harness and slip leash to keep me safe. With guidance and treats, I can be redirected. We are also working on crate training for when my humans leave, as I don't love being alone. This will take some time as I adjust to my new forever home.
