My story

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

Ellie is a beautiful young girl that found her way to us after being found as a stray.  She is a girl with young dog energy, and loves playing with her dog brothers and sisters at the Ranch.  Squirrels get her attention and she loves to chase them, so best to have her in a fenced in yard. 



Ellie finds enjoyment in all humans! Give her a lap and she will crawl right in for snuggles.  She has learned stay and is good about listening around open doors, and we know she could learn so much more as she loves to try new things and please her owners.



While she can be a food thief on counters at times, she is working super hard about avoiding them temptation.  She is also used to being around little humans and does beautifully with them.



Ellie is wonderful with other dogs, but we notice that high value treats are best given separately so no one gets jealous - which is something we advocate for all around.  She may prefer a brother, but meet and greets will best set her up for success. She is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped and on heartworm prevention.

More about this shelter

We are a family run rescue that we have established on our property. We pull from local animal control and shelters, as well as owner surrenders and high risk shelters. At Hard Licker Ranch we operate in small packs so that we can socialize the dogs as well as to understand the most about their personalities. We have 2 barns that are temperature controlled, and the dogs have 24 hour access to come in and out through weathered doggy doors. We do it to make life better for every dog that comes into our care and give them a second chance. We also do community outreach and TNR. Our rescue is also a Sanctuary for barn cats who need a home!
