Story
Ellie is a very sweet mixed dog. We believe she is part German Shepard. She was a rescue; we found her 2.5 years ago living in a graveyard and adopted her. From what we know, she was dumped near the graveyard by her apparent previous owner. She is very attached to our other dog (GSD), but does not get along with other dogs. Behavioral issues: minor nipping (only occasional & what we believe to be in play), crying every time our babies cry, escaping from her kennel/jumping fences, aggression towards other dogs (it seems out of protection of the other dog), and digging in the yard. Very skittish and timid. Positive traits include: very sweet and cuddly, loves being pet and sitting in your lap, responds to basic commands, not a big barker, pretty good on a leash (minimal pulling), generally is good with guests Ellie needs a quiet, child-free home where she can be prioritized. She has had issues from her previous owner (was likely abused) that we do not have the resources to fix.

Story
I was searching for a shepherd-type dog and ended up finding exactly what I needed—her brother, Toma. We drove to the shelter to meet him, and as soon as we arrived, his sister ran out of the cage to greet us. She was missing one eye but had the most incredible personality. We couldn’t bear to leave her behind, so we adopted them both. She turned out to be sweet, hilarious, and incredibly smart—sometimes too smart. Sadly, her spay surgery didn’t go well, and she now leaks urine. It’s not constant, but frequent enough that we can’t let her roam freely indoors. There are treatments that could help, but I simply can’t afford the vet bills. Because of this, she spends most of her time confined with her brother, who has his own issues. She’s clever enough to jump a three-foot fence and even open the gate to let herself out. It’s heartbreaking—she deserves a better life. One where she can run, play (without escaping), and curl up on the sofa like any happy dog should.
