Meet Ellis! Ellis is a Harrier-type hound hunk with a gentle soul and a deeply loyal heart. He came back into our care when his owner's health declined, and he's ready to find a home where he can settle in and truly thrive. Ellis is the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room just to be near you, a quiet companion who blooms once he feels safe. New people and new environments take him a little time, but once he's comfortable, he's all in. He loves his squeaky toys (fair warning: he will disembowel a stuffie with great enthusiasm!), and a good sniffari walk is his idea of a perfect afternoon. Consistent daily exercise goes a long way with Ellis. He does best in a quiet, low-traffic home where life moves at a slower pace. One thing his next family will want to know: Ellis has a medical history that requires some extra care, and he's handled it like a champ. Staying on top of his medication and routine vet visits will be part of the picture, but it's nothing that slows him down or gets in the way of him being a truly wonderful dog. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be your devoted shadow in a calm and steady home, Ellis might just be your new best friend! Dogs: Ellis is seeking a home without other dogs. Cats: Ellis is seeking a home without cats. Children: Ellis may thrive in a home with teenagers and adults. Ready to adopt your new best friend? Submit an adoption application today!
