Meet Ellie, a stunning 5-month-old German Shepherd and Hound mix who hails from the sunny lands of South Carolina! 🌞 You see, Ellie was a heart-stealer during a visit, and there was no way to leave her behind! Now, up north, she’s blossoming and waiting for *her* forever home, where she can share all her love and charm. Could that be you? 💖 This adorable pup is making remarkable strides with her potty training! Not only does she let her foster family know when it’s time to go outside by ringing a bell, she’s also crate trained, which is a fantastic foundation for her future home. 🛏️ If you're ready to keep this momentum going, you're in for quite the rewarding journey together! Now, let’s talk about Ellie’s social side. She has a preference for male pups, so while she generally gets along well with other dogs, she’s more comfortable with male companions. In fact, we think she’d thrive as an only dog or with a male buddy. 🐕💙 Oh, but it doesn’t stop there! Ellie has shown that she absolutely adores children. She’s currently living it up with a two-year-old boy, where her gentle and patient nature shines. It’s like she knows her role as a furry protector and friend! 🧒🐾 And don’t underestimate her smarts—she’s eager to learn and picks up commands like a pro! 🧠✨ Being a young puppy, Ellie aims to grow into a confident and well-rounded adult. An environment where training is a part of the daily mix will serve her well. In exchange, she promises to fill your life with boundless affection, loyalty, and joy! Ellie’s Highlights: - 💕 Loves children and is oh-so-gentle! - 🛏️ Crate trained and ready to snuggle. - 🔔 Bell trained for potty breaks—smart cookie here! - 🐕 Dog friendly, but prefers male pals. - 🐈 Likely cat friendly with proper introductions. - 🧠 Highly trainable and eager to learn!
