Introducing Ellie, a delightful 8-year-old strawberry blond German Shepherd/Eskimo Dog mix weighing in at a charming 53 pounds! This vivacious lady is the embodiment of joy and love, always on the hunt for her next human buddy. She’s high-energy and as animated as a puppy — think of her as your new best friend who turns every little moment into a grand adventure! 🎉 Now, Ellie isn’t just any typical dog; she’s a vocal enthusiast who believes that life is too short to be anything but excited! Picture her bounding through parks, tail wagging like a metronome, ready to take on the world. She’s done marvelously on pack walks alongside 30+ fellow German Shepherds through the charming streets of downtown Sacramento and Placerville. But beware, fellow critters—her prey drive means that cats, squirrels, and lizards better watch their tails! 🐾 Ellie thrives best in homes with low-energy, respectful dogs (proper introductions are a must!), and she’s been getting along famously with her four foster friends, both male and female. But here’s the scoop: she’s searching for a patient adopter who ideally works from home to help her adjust to new surroundings and people. A calm household with children aged 18 and up would be a perfect fit for our darling Ellie. 🎽 What's important to remember is that a busy pup equals a happy pup! Think hikes, walks, or runs—Ellie’s energy needs to be channeled into productive adventures to keep her smiling. Ideally, her forever family would have some experience with breeds like American Eskimo, Chow, or German Shepherds so they can keep up with her lively spirit! Meanwhile, she showcases some impressive tricks too! Ellie knows how to sit, lie down, place, and come when called — and even “wait” at the door. 🐕 Ellie is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative, ready to bring joy into a wonderful new life! So, could this little cutey be the missing piece in your life? If so, don’t wait another minute!🎈 *Apply to adopt this amazing girl through the Buddy App today!*
