Meet Ellie Your Smart, Playful, Adventure Buddy! Ellie is 3 1/2 year old Husky mix who is as smart as she is silly. Saved from being euthanized, this sweet girl is now ready to find her forever home. Ellie loves life to the fullestwhether it's chasing her favorite ball, playing tug with her wubba, zooming around the yard in the morning, or soaking up belly rubs. She's food motivated, quick to learn, and always looking for the next fun game. True to her Husky side, she's a talker with plenty of personality, and she'll keep you laughing every day. She's crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and even knows the doggie door. Ellie has done great out in public and busy environmentsshe enjoys meeting new people, handles herself well, and isn't much of a barker. She's also had good on-leash interactions with other dogs. At home, she doesn't chew household items (just her toys!) and is welcome on the couch, bed, or beanbagshe loves being near her people and will snuggle when she's in the mood. Like many young Huskies, Ellie has her quirks that make her unique. She thinks socks left on the floor are fair game for toys, she believes all dog toys are meant to be shredded, and she's always on the move (relaxing takes practice!). She's playfully mouthy, can be a little shy about doorways and hallways, and prefers belly rubs over side pats. Critters will definitely catch her eye, and while she's not a big fan of putting on her collar or harness, she's totally fine once they're on. And true to form, Ellie is a shy poopershe usually prefers to do her business at home instead of on walks. She's currently working with a trainer on recall, polite greetings, and leash focus when squirrels are around. She's also learning that her crate is a safe place, and she's practicing relaxation games to help her settle down. Ellie's ideal home would be one with a secure backyard where she can run and play. She would likely do best with another playful dog her sizeor as the center of attention for an active person or family. She hasn't been tested with cats or small children, but she has lived successfully with teenagers. If you're looking for a smart, funny, affectionate adventure partner who will keep you on your toes and fill your days with joy, Ellie might just be your girl.
