My name is Ellie!

We have had Ellie since she was 6 weeks old from our local animal shelter and she is now almost 5 years old. Ellie is going to need a very patient person to win her over. She is terrified of her own shadow, but has never tried to bite anyone. We are a family of 5 and she loves us and wants to be with us at all times. Ellie is food motivated. When we have people over she growls and hides behind one of us, but if we are eating food, she will put her head in anyone's lap. Ellie does love our other dog and they are best friends, but she does not like other dogs. I think she is just scared. The reason for rehoming her is she makes it difficult to have people over and travel with her. All that being said, she is a very sweet and affectionate girl towards us, even sleeps with us. People can win her over, but it takes time and a lot of food and treats.
