About Ellie May

Ellie May is a charming 4-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix looking for her forever home. Weighing in at about 15 lbs, she came to us after her family faced an emergency and could no longer care for her. With her sweet disposition, Ellie May is a bit shy initially, which is understandable given her recent changes. However, she warms up quickly once she feels safe. In her foster home, Ellie May enjoys playing with another small dog and would thrive with a furry companion. But she can also be happy as the only dog, provided she gets plenty of attention and exercise. It’s worth noting that she doesn’t like being left alone, a likely concern stemming from her recent transitions. A household where her humans are present more often would suit her best. If you're interested in this lovely girl, please submit your application, and a counselor will reach out to you.
