About Ellie

Meet Ellie! Ellie was just a baby when she was found alone on the streets of Houston, Texas. At only 5 months old, she faced the uncertainty of being in a high-kill shelter, scared and vulnerable. Thankfully, she's come a long way since then. Today, Ellie is a joyful and affectionate girl. She's making great strides with her potty training and interacts well with other dogs and pets at the park. Though Ellie sometimes growls over her food, she's never shown aggression. A bit of patience and structured mealtime will help her learn to trust. After all she has endured, Ellie is eager to find the family she's never had. Her ideal home would be supportive and loving, helping her flourish as she continues to grow. Adoption fee: $750, which includes transport to the Midwest, Northeast, or Southeast.
