About Ellie Mae

Ellie Mae is an adorable 5-year-old hound mix, weighing around 30 pounds. She has a unique stout frame and a few little snorts that hint at a quirky lineage, possibly even some pot-bellied pig in her background. This sweetheart thrives in quieter environments, making her perfect for a home with older children aged 10 and up. While she isn't a fan of city life or apartment living, she doesn’t require sprawling acreage either; a peaceful neighborhood suits her best. Sweet and loving, Ellie Mae enjoys the company of her humans but is somewhat timid around new noises and strangers. She’s 90% house trained but has subtle signals when she needs to go out. Ellie is a licker—she prefers to give all her affection to your hands instead of your face. While she appreciates the presence of other pets, her initial greetings can resemble a shy high schooler meeting their crush. A little car sickness doesn’t dampen her spirit; she finds joy in zoomies when you come home, after a bathroom break, or just because. Ellie Mae would be an ideal companion for someone looking for a sweet, low-maintenance friend to hang out with. With her soft fur and charming little piggy snore, she's more than ready to bring joy to a calm and loving home. If you’re in the Central Florida/Orlando area and think you can provide just the right environment for her, take the step to apply and learn more about this darling pup!
