My story

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

Miss Ellie was found walking across a busy highway in Caldwell, Idaho, on July 20, 2024. Efforts to
find her people came up empty, and on Aug. 3 she delivered seven pups. Vets
estimate her age to be somewhere between 1-2 years old. She weighs 40 pounds.

Wisdom Panel DNA on one of the puppies revealed 77% Australian cattle dog, single-digit
percentages of Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Collie.
It is safe to say that Ellie is primarily Australian cattle dog.

Ellie is house trained, quite affectionate and happy. She enjoys playing with other dogs, leaves cats to
themselves; although, she will chase if they run. She’s high energy and quick, a fast learner, enjoys life
with interesting outings. She eats up praise, tasty food, and lots of love. She wants to be with her
people at all times and snuggles in close when it’s time to settle down.

Ellie's adoption fee is $350 and includes spay and vaccines.
