Meet Ellie, a 5-year-old sweetheart who’s spent far too long waiting for her forever family in Waco, TX. Not much is known about her past, but the C-section-like scar on her belly hints at a tough start. Despite that, Ellie’s spirit is all warmth—she genuinely loves people, kids, and soaking up attention whenever she gets the chance. Ellie enjoys playtime (tough chew toys are her specialty) but is happiest lounging beside you, stretched out in a sunny patch or curled up on the couch. She’s both house and kennel trained. Ellie needs to be the only dog at home while she keeps growing her confidence, but she’ll shower you with affection and loyalty if you give her a little patience—and your heart. Your new best friend is just one click away.
