ADOPTED – ELLIE

Female, 3 years, 34 lbs

Meet Ellie, a 34#, 3-year-old spayed border collie mix. Ellie is friendly, affectionate, and loves people. She is the kind of dog who doesn’t just wag her tail when you come home—she greets you with a full-body wiggle that makes it impossible not to smile. This affectionate, gentle girl lives for closeness and will happily scoot herself closer and closer until she’s curled right into your lap for cuddles.

At 3-years-old, Ellie has a wonderful moderate energy level. She loves chasing a ball (and proudly brings it back!) but is just as content relaxing by your side. She’s quiet, rarely barks, and has lovely house manners. Ellie is crate-trained, housebroken, walks nicely on a leash, knows “sit,” has a good recall, and—like most smart girls—has a soft spot for treats. Ellie gets along well with the dogs at the vet clinic where her foster mom works and is good with cats, making her a great candidate for a multi-pet home. She also adores car rides and gets excited to head to work each day, ready for her next adventure.

Ellie is a tripod and lost a limb in an accident, but don’t let that fool you—it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She navigates life with confidence, joy, and grace. Adding to her charm is a beautiful blue speckle in her left eye that makes her truly unforgettable. Ellie’s dream home is simple—one filled with love, affection, and plenty of cuddles. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be close to her person—walking, playing ball, or simply hanging out, Ellie might just be your perfect match.

ELLIE is micro-chipped, spayed, heartworm negative and on preventative, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
