Meet Ellie, a gentle, affectionate 8-year-old German Shepherd mix in New Albany, OH. Her soulful, expressive eyes hint at her sweet nature. Ellie’s the kind of companion who greets everyone—kids, adults, dogs—with a wagging tail and a cheerful bark. She loves walks but is equally happy to settle in quietly at your side, content just to be near. Ellie's mellow, never jumpy, and leans right into affection. Ellie does need ongoing medication for her thyroid and maintenance for past yeast infections, but her health is well managed with regular baths and simple care routines. She’s house trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccines. Ellie will thrive with someone who wants a calm, loyal buddy and doesn’t mind giving tablets or a soothing bath every now and then. She’ll repay gentle care with endless cuddles and soft companionship. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
