Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ellie. This sweet, petite girl has the silliest natural ears that will make you instantly fall in love! And check out her natural tail as well. She is 4 years old and is relatively low energy for her age. She loves going for walks or just spending the day by your side. Ellie was given up by her owner because he became too busy to give her the attention and time she needed. She is very food motivated, which will make her easy to train, because she could use some work since lack of time let learning her basic obedience commands slip.
Ellie is a people dog and will make an amazing companion. She will bark at visitors but follows up quickly with greeting them and seeking attention. She is alert and will stand guard at the window so that if something catches her attention, she will tell you with her very earnest big-dog bark.
We do not have enough information or experience with Ellie around small children so are looking for a home with adults or children over 12 years old who are dog savvy and respectful. In addition, Ellie needs a home without any other pets. She is nice to dogs when out on walks, but she has made it clear that she does not want to live in the same house with one or have them visiting.
If you are looking for a cute Velcro girl who will follow you around and know where you constantly are, you will be rewarded with this adorable, happy face to greet you every day. If interested, please complete an application at http://www.dprpa.org/application-form.
