About Ellie
Ellie is a delightful female Chihuahua mix who’s about three years old. Found on the streets of Buffalo in rough shape, she has bounced back with a bit of love and care and is now ready for her forever home. Though Ellie enjoys her outdoor adventures and is generally well-mannered with potty training, she can be a tad vocal when she needs attention. This playful pup adores cuddling, loves to be carried along in your daily activities, and shouldn’t miss a joyride in the car. She gets along well with other dogs and is good with children, but they need to understand her unique quirks. This sweet girl has cerebellar hyperplasia, commonly known as “wobbly dog syndrome,” which means she might wobble and occasionally take a tumble. It's important for her to have a safe living environment with carpeted floors and raised bowls, as well as minimal stairs and no super rambunctious dogs. Despite her condition, Ellie does not need medication and isn’t in pain—she just wants a loving family that will cherish her. If you're looking for a loyal companion, Ellie is the one for you!
