About Ellie

Meet Ellie, a lovely senior dog who joined us on May 27, 2026. She’s a Chow Chow mix with a sweet and sensitive nature. Ellie takes her time to trust new people, but once she does, you’ll find a loyal and affectionate companion. She enjoys having her space, so she would thrive as the only dog in a home without children who are younger than 10 years old. At 10 years old, Ellie does have some medical conditions that we’d like to discuss with potential adopters to ensure she finds the right fit. After settling in, she’s all about love and companionship. Ellie has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and she’s ready to start her new life with the right family. If you think you can provide a loving home, connect with our team today!
