Sweet Ellie.

Ellie is making great strides in retirement.  She is super sweet and is learning the ropes. She does the stairs like a champ and can handle pretty much any type of flooring.  She is a little tentative about tile but she still walks across it.  She jumps into the car on her own and travels without any issues.  We are still working on her shyness in public.  Now that the weather is turning; more and more outings are on the books.  Ellie likes women and needs a bit of time to warm up to men.  A friendly light approach with lots of treats and time will help a lot.  She loves her toys and is capable of entertaining herself with the toy box.  Ellie would do best in a family with a fenced back yard, even if it's really tiny.  She will pee on leash but is really shy about pooping on leash.  We are working on this but it is slow progress - she's just one of those shy girls.  She needs to be adopted by someone who has another dog that is friendly and outgoing - she will take her lead from another dog. She is not a needy dog at all and she loves it when you give her loves and pettins.  We don't allow her on the bed but I can see there is a real snuggler inside just waiting for the right home.  

Ellie waits patiently for her treat.  That's her, the pretty brindle, with the pink collar.  She is just so sweet but she's a foody and likes her special treats!

Totally entertaining herself with some of her favorite toys.  Look how pretty her face is!!  She's kissable.
