About Ellie

Ellie is a lovely dog who made her journey from Texas to find a forever home. She had a tough start, having been left behind when her previous tenant moved out, which makes her a bit shy around unfamiliar faces. With a little patience, though, you’ll discover her true personality—a gentle soul who is affectionate and playful. She gets along well with other dogs, including smaller ones, and while she might bark back if another dog is too vocal, positive introductions usually help her feel comfortable. Ellie is house trained and signals when she needs to go out. She doesn’t have accidents and even knows how to use a doggy door. This playful girl adores fetch, enjoys long walks, car rides, and has a soft spot for toys. She’s eager for attention, often resting her head on your lap or legs, happily accepting scratches in return. Ellie would be a wonderful addition to a patient, dog-loving family. Her adoption fee is waived, making her an even more appealing choice. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, Ellie is ready to meet you!
