About Ellie

Ellie’s personality is just as bright as her eyes. She’s the kind of dog who’ll keep you laughing with her goofy energy and then curl up right by your side when it’s time to rest. In her foster home, Ellie has shown she enjoys chasing squirrels, splashing in the pond, and coming back at the sound of her name or a beep—not too stubborn, just happily independent. Storms don’t faze her much, and she’s quick to settle after the initial excitement comes from coming inside. Though her mother was a hound, Ellie clearly takes after her Labrador roots, both in her love for the outdoors and snuggle time. She’s been brushing up on good house manners and gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. Overnight stays indoors go without a hitch, but she still likes spending plenty of time outside. It all adds up to an adaptable, loving companion ready to fit in with just about any home. Ellie was born on November 2, making her a determined and fun-loving Scorpio—this tends to come out in her adventurous streak. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
