All About Me and My Unique Personality: Those ears! How can you go past them?!? Ellie is a sweet and energetic puppy who is eager to please and love her people. She is slowly learning what is expected of her, though she does have the energy levels of a large pup. Ellie loves tug-o-war with the other dogs and loves throwing a stuffed toy around in the air. She has started chasing the tennis ball, but returning it is still being learnt!
Ellie's coat is more of a reddish colour in sunlight, she has white paws, a white tip on her tail and a white mantle around her neck/chest area.
My Ideal Home: Ellie will need an active home. She is full of energy and without the proper training and time spent with her, she will become a naughty bored dog. She would enjoy the company of another dog to get all of that puppy energy out, but could equally be as happy with an energetic lifestyle.
Children over 5 years might be better as Ellie can be jumpy when excited and may bowl small children over.
Ellie is a fun and goofy big pup looking for someone with a kind heart but able to provide the training needed to turn this excited and energetic puppy into a well-mannered and lovely dog.
We would really love to see Ellie find her perfect home and I know she will thrive even more once she finds that little safe haven with her own family's routines.
What is Known About My Background: Ellie was picked up as stray and taken to a rural animal shelter. She served her impoundment period and was brought into the care of Hunter Animal Rescue.
It appears that Ellie has not had the best nutrition in her life and her back legs are slightly bowed outwards. This does not cause any problems for her to continue to behave like a normal, healthy, active puppy.
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets: Ellie is in foster care with another dog and adores him. Being a puppy she is quite submissive when told off by other dogs. Currently she is just a big goofy pup whose energy is endless.
She has been with children 5 years and above and whilst she is a little jumpy, she is not scared or nasty toward them. Just over excited still.
Ellie seems to be pretty happy just watch cats walk by. She doesn't really know what they are and is too busy exploring to really care.
Ellie has also been known to be good with chickens and ducks, She has shown no interest in them, even if they're flapping near by.
