Story
Meet Ella Mae — A Great Pyrenees Mix Puppy Ready to Steal Your Heart Approximate Date of Birth: Late March 2026 Ella Mae is one sweet, smart, and steadily blossoming pup. When she first came into her foster home, she was timid and scared — clearly a little girl who'd been through more than a puppy should have to handle. But since then, she's come out of her shell in the best way, learning every day to trust more, relax more, and feel safe. Watching her grow into herself has been such a joy, and it's clear this is a puppy who's just going to keep thriving. She's fully potty trained and sleeps soundly through the night. Ella does great with kids, cats, and other dogs — she has no prey drive and is respectful around cats, giving them their space when needed. If we're being honest, though, she's downright obsessed with people, and considers everyone she meets her new best friend. She's also great on a leash and doesn't pull, though she will occasionally stop and whine a little if she spots or hears people nearby, even from a block away — she just wants to go say hello to everyone before happily continuing on her walk. When it comes to play, she's all about a good game of fetch, whether it's her ball or any toy you throw for her. Her energy is puppy energy for sure, but overall low to medium — she's just as happy to plop down and chill nearby while you cook dinner or do the dishes. She's a total velcro dog who will follow you from room to room, always wanting to be near her people. Ella Mae is still a puppy and learning, but she listens well and picks things up quickly. Obedience classes are recommended, though not required, to help her keep building confidence and manners. We're not sure what her dad brought to the mix, but with Great Pyrenees mom in her, we expect Ella Mae to grow into a medium-to-large dog — she's almost 5 months old now and weighing in at 32 lbs, so we're estimating she'll land somewhere around 60-70 lbs once fully grown. If you're looking for a smart, affectionate, easygoing puppy who just needs the right people to keep helping her believe the world is safe, Ella Mae might be exactly who you've been waiting for.
