Ellie might be the perfect 11-year-old chocolate and tan mix for you. Ellie came to Little Paws after her beloved owner passed away. This sweet girl is looking for a new family to share her golden years with, bringing her loving personality and adorable quirks to a new home. Environment Ellie is the perfect balance of active and relaxed. She loves lounging on the couch and would happily spend hours snuggled under covers with you, but she also enjoys short walks and gentle exercise. She’s currently using pee pads for potty training and doesn’t need a crate. She needs a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and does well with a regular routine. Ellie is great on the leash and genuinely loves her walkies! Pets & People Ellie needs just a minute to warm up to new people, but once she does, she’s your friend for life and would love some petting. She’s good with other dogs but likes to be the leader of the pack—she’s confident and knows what she wants! On walks, she’s completely unbothered by other dogs and just focuses on enjoying her adventure. She absolutely loves food and treats but eats quickly and needs gentle reminders about taking treats nicely. She should be fed separately from other dogs to avoid any issues. Health Ellie has a heart murmur that doesn’t slow her down one bit. She’s being monitored by her vet and is living a full, happy life. Location Ellie is available for adoption from Columbia, SC.
