My story

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

Meet Ellie! 🧡

Ellie came to us earlier this year as an owner surrender. She was very depressed in the shelter, but thankfully she was able to spend the holidays with a loving family who got to know her a little better.

Ellie is approximately 12 years old. This sweet old gal loves her naps, but she still gets the occasional burst of zoomies when she's feeling excited! She is potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, and walks well on a leash. Ellie enjoys spending time outdoors, sniffing all the smells, and she's also a fan of car rides.

Ellie is looking for a laid-back home where she can spend her golden years napping, soaking up love, and enjoying plenty of yummy treats. She adores affection and attention and needs to be the only dog. Ellie would also prefer a home without young children.

We are hoping to find Ellie the perfect retirement home. You can apply for her at http://tinyurl.com/ORAS-Adoption-Application
