Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


This is my Australian/ German shepard mix Ellie, and I need to re-home her. She needs a home with a yard and a fence. She is an escape artist I rescued her from the Humane society in August 2020. They guessed her to be about 3 at that time. She has been spayed, has all her current shots, and has been taken to the Vet on a regular basis. She has flea, tick and heart worm meds that are current through end of May. I have her shot record as well. She is a sweet girl, she does have alot of anxiety constantly licks. She was dumped off in traffic by previous owner. I took her to pet therapy and rold that she is moldy autistic, not sure about that. She is VERY smart. She enjoys other dogs, likes kids, but is used to living with 3 adults. She enjoys riding in cars, getting her belly rubs, shakes paw for treat, and walks. Knows ommands sit, lay down, stop ✋️ (expect when running). She sleeps in her kennel and it is her "safe" spot. Fireworks, storms make her nervous. She is a good girl
