My story

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

12-10-24

Hello I’m Ellie Mae!! I am a 5+ year old ( DOB 12-28-2018) retired breeder. Ellie Mae (formerly Cindy) came in as a breeder surrender very scared and overweight. She has consistently started to lose weight and down 10 lbs with 10 to go!!

From foster mom:

Ellie Mae gets excited to see me when I come home and let her out of her kennel, excited to go outside and run around the fenced-in backyard to clear it of squirrels and rabbits, smelling all the good smells, and laying on her outside bed and watching the world go by.

Ellie Mae is a great dog! She loves playing with other dogs, chewing on her Benebones, lying on the couch, and chilling. She is house-trained and will happily go to her kennel in the morning when I leave for work.

She sleeps in bed with me and is only kenneled when I leave the house to go to work or run errands. She loves her kennel and is comfortable in it and will gladly go in it any time. She will make a great dog for the right family!!

Ideal Home:

Some who is who is home more than gone
Another medium, mellow dog as a role model
Fenced yard
Cats unknown
Kids – ages 12+ with experience with dogs
Energy level is medium as she is still overweight
Continue her weight management
Continue training

Additional adoption info

We want to find the best possible home for our dogs. We have a thorough process. After the home visit and the volunteer submits their notes, we approve or deny.
If it is approved, the applicant's application will be forwarded to fosters to review. If they are selected, meet and greets take place to determine if it is a good fit. If so, both foster/applicant determine if they want to move forward.
