My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ellie!

Once upon a time, in a land of squeaky balls and soft blankets, there lived a noble low-rider named Ellie. With the stature of a house hippo and the heart of a seasoned couch commander, she rules her domain with sass, snuggles, and a strict no-stranger policy.

At seven years old and 75 pounds of pure personality, Ellie has mastered the art of lounging. Her days are spent on the royal cushions, galloping like a bunny when the sacred kibble arrives, and engaging in solo jousts with her beloved ball. She is known throughout the realm for her dramatic food dances. In fact, rumor has it she once did a full pirouette for a scoop of chicken-flavored kibble.

But Ellie is no fan of visitors in her kingdom. Should a stranger breach the castle gates, she must be secured in her crate tower as one never knows if a visitor might actually be a horrific dragon in disguise. Her ideal kingdom is quiet, predictable, and ruled by one or two wise humans, and if they have a few older squires who understand the ways of cautious ladies that would be fine too. But young squires still in training are not for this lady. She prefers her people close, her cats far away, and her canine companions carefully vetted through diplomatic sniffing.

Though she’s set in her ways, Ellie is loyal to her chosen few. She walks well on a leash, naps like a pro, and will happily binge-watch your favorite series while offering commentary in the form of gentle snores. She’s crate-trained, house-trained, and emotionally trained to know that food is life, balls are joy, and strangers are suspicious.

If you seek a steadfast companion with a royal sense of humor, a deep love of snacks, and a heart that blooms slowly but beautifully—Ellie awaits your summons.

When I’m done with my ball, I’m perfectly happy to cuddle with you on the couch. I get along with some dogs, others not so much, so I’d definitely have to meet any dogs you already have. I don’t think I’ve met any cats, but I don’t think I’d be a fan. I also do well with older kids as commotion just isn’t my thing. I’m pretty set in my ways and really just like my people.

I enjoy cuddling and lounging around the house. I'm great in my crate but could also be left out as I would probably just sleep while you’re away. I do also enjoy going for walks! I love being outside as long as you’re out there with me.

If you enjoy binge watching Netflix and going for an evening walk, apply to meet me today!

More about this rescue

We started out fighting for our baby boy, Lucci, who was killed due to Airport Animal Emergi-Center Clinic's breed prejudice. When he was killed, we make a promise that no bully would be left behind. Now we try to save as many bullies as we can!
