Meet the fabulous Ellie! 🌟 This delightful 5-year-old, 68-lb Labrador Retriever mix is full of love and laughter. Imagine this: Ellie spent her first four years neglected in a yard and then adventured as a stray. But hold onto your hearts; she was rescued during the Altadena Fires in California this past January 2025! 🐾 Despite a challenging past, Ellie embodies resilience and joy! She’s the ultimate goofball with a penchant for fun. Want to see something spectacular? Watch her do her signature somersault by tucking her head and flipping over! 🎉 Just a heads-up, this energetic girl needs a human or two with some sturdy legs to keep up with her acrobatics! Ellie’s been thriving in a live-in training program, mastering essential skills and blossoming into the dog she was always meant to be. She’s great on the leash, has stellar recall, and knows commands like Sit, Down, Place, plus she’s house-trained and crate-trained. With all that energy, she’s always ready for an off-leash adventure! 🌳🏃‍♀️ Ellie loves dogs of all sizes and has a curious spirit towards other animals—she just doesn’t have much of a prey drive. But when she gets excited, she forgets all about her size, leading to BIG WAGS & WIGGLES! 🐕💖 Training can easily help her harness that energy and become the calm sweetheart she truly is. At the end of a busy day, Ellie transforms into a gentle, doe-eyed cuddle bug, melting hearts and cozying into snuggles! 😌🤗 Adopting Ellie includes complimentary training sessions to help maintain her skills as she settles into her new home, because every princess deserves her castle!
