My name is Ellie!

After much consideration, training, and with heavy hearts, my husband and I need to re-home our 11 year old terrier mix, Ellie. We adopted her around age 1, in 2014, and she has been our baby until our son came along in 2020. Ellie has never trusted our son and shows signs of aggression (such as showing teeth), which is obviously unsafe for our son. As a result, we have to keep them separated and her/our quality of life has decreased considerably. We tried getting other help to re-home and have been unsuccessful.
Ellie is an extremely loyal, smart, healthy, and loves to snuggle. She loves adult humans and has been house trained from the start. She is extremely motivated by food, and requires more mental exercise than physical exercise. Ellie would do great with a single person, a couple, or a family with older teen children.
