About Andy and Ellie

Meet Andy and Ellie, the iconic duo ready to charm your heart! These 6-year-old Mini Australian Shepherds are currently in a foster home out of state, but they will soon be transported to New England without any additional travel costs. Surrendered by their previous owners in Mississippi, this bonded pair weighs about 30 pounds. Both dogs thrive on companionship and crave attention, showering their chosen humans with affection. They enjoy being right by your side and can be quite the cuddly lap dogs once they feel comfortable. While they may exhibit some shyness around strangers, a few tasty treats might help break the ice. Andy and Ellie love spending time outdoors, playing together like two peas in a pod. They are not crate or leash trained yet, and they are still working on their potty skills. Although they haven’t interacted with cats, they’re friendly with other dogs and enjoy the company of children. Ideally, they would thrive best as the only pets in a loving home that cherishes their sweet, devoted nature. With both dogs spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations, they are ready to find their forever home. Bring these lovable best friends into your life today!
