My story

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

Ellie is an 8-year-old frenchie with a whole lot of attitude and even more personality who requires an experienced handler. She’s deaf, opinionated, and proud of it. Physical affection? No thanks. What Ellie does love is a cozy spot, a predictable routine, and long naps flat on her back. Ellie enjoys her independence and prefers humans who respect her boundaries. She’s not interested in being doted on—but she is hilarious, expressive, and full of charm in her own unique way. Her ideal home? Quiet, adult-only, no cats, and filled with soft beds and people who appreciate a dog who knows exactly what she wants—and what she doesn’t. If you're into strong-willed seniors, and believe that love can look like a side-eye from across the room, Ellie might just be your soulmate!
