This gentle seventeen-year-old German Shepherd mix is currently in Chula Vista, CA, but she’s ready for a loving home anywhere in the U.S. Ellie carries a quiet wisdom and a loving spirit. She adores outdoor adventures, especially long walks and trips to the beach. Weighing around 33 pounds, her hound-like curiosity shines through in her inquisitive nose and thoughtful stride. Though she can be timid at first, with a bit of patience, Ellie turns into a sweet companion who appreciates closeness, leaning into her people without a single lick. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys their company in a calm setting. Ellie is car-friendly and knows how to sit with just a hand gesture, eager to learn more positive commands that provide her with a sense of stability. Ellie thrives in a gentle, kind environment, as she is sensitive to loud voices. She has age-related changes, including some vision decline and possible hearing changes, but she's still engaged and happy during her daily walks. This spayed and vaccinated lady enjoys her Freshpet meals and settles peacefully next to her loved ones.
