🎉 Meet Ellie! 🎉 This fabulous 5-year-old, 68-pound Labrador Retriever mix isn’t just any dog; she’s a survivor with a heart of gold! 💛 For too long, she spent her life as a neglected backyard pup and later as a stray. But thanks to a heroic rescue during the Altadena Fires in California in January 2025, she’s ready for her forever family! Now watch out—this girl is an absolute joy! Ellie brings an infectious energy that can brighten any room. Her signature move? She tucks her head and rolls into a somersault! 🤸‍♀️ Talk about a showstopper! But be warned: with those acrobatics comes the need for sturdy human legs to handle those delightful antics. 😄 Ellie has been in a live-in training program where she picked up all the essential skills you’d want in a loving companion. She’s good on the leash, has a solid recall, and knows how to sit, lay down, and even chill out in her crate. 🏅 And did we mention her off-leash adventures? She’s always ready for fun! With a high-energy spirit, she’s great with dogs of all sizes and has a curious vibe around other animals (but fret not—she has zero prey drive!). Just keep in mind, when she gets excited, she can forget how big she is and lose a bit of spatial awareness! But don’t worry; her training quickly transitions her into a cool, calm companion. 🧘‍♀️ At night, when it’s time to wind down, Ellie turns into a sweet doe-eyed cuddle bug, ready to lean in for some love. 🥰 To help Ellie transition into her new forever home, her adoption comes with complimentary training sessions. It’s a wonderful way to carry on the training she’s received and ensure she settles into her new life smoothly. So, if you believe you’ve got the sturdy legs and enormous heart for this delightful goofball, don’t hesitate! *Apply through the Buddy App* to bring Ellie into your life! She’s ready to fill your days with BIG WAGS & WIGGLES! 🌟
