My story

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

Meet Ellie Mae! At just under 20 pounds, this four-year-old peanut packs A LOT of punch into her tiny body.

A Shih Tzu mix whose personality is best described as a pinch of sugar and a cup of spice. One minute she's curled up on your lap batting her baby brown eyes at you, and the next she's huddled in the corner plotting world domination while showing off her prison tattoos to strangers.

In the home, Ellie is house broken, crate trained, and extremely smart and playful. But if not given proper boundaries, however, this little Napoleon will try to rule the roost. An ideal home would be one where she is given equal parts love, affection, rules, boundaries, and leadership.

Ellie thinks of herself as the Queen Bee. When she doesn't get her way, she can become snappy. For this reason, an adult only home would be required.

As for other dogs... Ellie doesn't seem to mind them. A home with or without another furry sibling would be okay. In addition, a cat test can be arranged if requested.

If you think you are up for the challenge and want a dog that makes you laugh all day long, then Ellie may be the one for you. Contact us today for your private meet and greet!
