About Ellie

Ellie is a sweet young girl who was discovered living under a trailer at a construction site. The workers took care of her for a few days before she found her way to PAWS for safety. She is recommended to be the only dog in her future home, as she can be a bit bossy around other dogs. Ellie will thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can enjoy her space. Ellie is already spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. To give her a forever home, be sure to submit an application through pawshs.org, rather than a Petfinder inquiry, as those may not be answered promptly due to high volume.
