Story
Ellie is a 4-5 year old spayed female and she is up to date on vaccines. She came in as a stray to us back in April of 2024. She was found walking around on trail cameras in several peoples back properties in October of 2023. She was not spotted often but was spotted enough to get people questioning who she belonged to. She wasn't seen at all during the winter, but was seen again in late February of 2024. One of the people who spotted her began feeding her so she was showing up at her house regularly for food. It started off slow and eventually the woman was able to come up to her and pet her once. Ellie would not let her grab her though. A live trap was set to catch her and after another month, she was finally caught and she has been with us ever since. She needs someone who is willing to work with her and will go slow with her. She gets very easily excited but she also gets very easily overstimulated. Once she gets overstimulated, she redirects to nipping and jumping on you. I have been working with her to sit and chill out before I will mess with her and acknowledge her at all and that has been helping a little bit. She is not as nippy and jumpy as she was before. She is very treat and toy motivated so if you have one of those things, it is a lot easier to handle her. I do not think she knows how to be with people anymore since she was out by herself for so long. Once she settles down she is fine, it just takes her a little bit to get to that point. Ellie is a sweet girl once she gets to know you. She a little weary of new people but doesn't take long to warm up if meeting them in a different setting outside of her comfort area. She is a very high energy dogs and LOVES toys, running around in the yard, and chasing after any toys you throw for her. She is very other animal aggressive and would not do well with children because of her reactiveness. She does do okay on a leash and loves going for walks. She also does pretty well in the car and loves going for car rides. She needs to be out of her ASAP!
