My story

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

Hi! I'm Ellis. I've been told I'm the handsomest boy in town and that my face is even cuter than Moo Deng! I am SO, SO sweet with the people I trust. I have a dark shiny grey coat with a white chest and adorable little white toes.

I am potty trained, leash trained, and I even sit on command - and a very good sitter at that! I am super chill and docile, maybe a little shy at first. I have pretty good manners; sometimes I do normal dog things for attention (like bark or jump), but I do respond to redirection.

I'm usually non-reactive, but I might be protective over toys. I'd be fine in a high energy or low energy home. When I'm in the kennel here, I'm approachable and calm, and when I'm in play group, I'm gentle and dainty.

I am dog-selective - I've gone into fosters' homes without meet and greets and have been brought back due to not getting along with the fosters' dogs, so a meet and greet if you have dogs is a must. But please don't overlook me because of this - I really am a pretty spectacular dog! Are YOU the family that I've been waiting for my whole life?

More about this shelter

The SPCA of Brazoria County is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to leading Brazoria County to a time when there are no more homeless pets in our community.

Founded in 1974, the SPCA-BC has operated the Southern Brazoria County Animal Shelter since 2003. The Shelter is an open admission facility serving the Cities of Freeport, Clute, and Lake Jackson, Texas.

In order to reach our vision of “No More Homeless Pets,” the SPCA-BC is focused on four primary objectives:

Education. All animals have value and should be treated with compassion and respect. We believe in promoting responsible pet ownership, teaching children compassion toward animals, fostering a community of support for animal welfare, and bringing animal welfare issues to the forefront of community awareness.

Spay/Neuter. The only way to break the cycle of pet overpopulation in our community is to prevent unwanted pets from ever being born. Spayed and neutered pets are healthier, happier, and make better companions. We are committed to providing low-cost, high-volume spay and neuter procedures to our community.

Adoption. Adoptions are vital to our life-saving mission. Every pet deserves a loving home. We work hard each day to find homes for the homeless pets in our care.

A World-Class Shelter. Every pet deserves a home, but the reality is that there are thousands of homeless pets right here in our own community. We provide shelter, medical care, and a place of refuge for homeless pets as they wait to find their forever homes.
