Foster Update 12/22/24:
EllieMae has settled into her routine! 5:30 wake-up and breakfast around 6am. She goes into her kennel on her own at 6:45 when I head to work. She is content in her kennel and sleeps most of the day. When I get home we spend an hour or two outside in the backyard. She loves the cold weather.
Weekends she lounges on the couch or outside on her bed with a fleece blanket and watches the world go by.
She has found her voice and loves to bark at things outside, people, and cars in the alley. She has a great bark! She doesn’t bark inside the house.
She is warming up to people slowly. Once the trust is built she is ok. She is still hesitant about coming up to people.
She isn’t fond of walks in the neighborhood due to cars and people. Too much going on.
She is now under 70 lbs with some more pounds to go. She is much more active and can get on the couch to sleep.
Ellie Mae gets along with ok with most female dogs and has a low growl with male dogs. She has had some play dates and mainly follows the dogs around the yard, not engaging in playing.

Hello I’m Ellie Mae!! I am a 5+ year old ( DOB 12-28-2018) retired breeder. Ellie Mae (formerly Cindy) came in as a breeder surrender very scared and overweight. She has consistently started to lose weight and down 10 lbs with 10 to go!!
From foster mom:
Ellie Mae gets excited to see me when I come home and let her out of her kennel, excited to go outside and run around the fenced-in backyard to clear it of squirrels and rabbits, smelling all the good smells, and laying on her outside bed and watching the world go by.
Ellie Mae is a great dog! She loves playing with other dogs, chewing on her Benebones, lying on the couch, and chilling. She is house-trained and will happily go to her kennel in the morning when I leave for work.
Ellie Mae is shy and reserved girl. It takes a little time for her to warm up to people and trust them.
She walks well on a leash using a harness. Currently she is more comfortable in the safety and security of her backyard.
She sleeps in bed with me and is only kenneled when I leave the house to go to work or run errands. She loves her kennel and is comfortable in it and will gladly go in it any time. She will make a great dog for the right family!!
Ideal Home:

- Another medium, mellow dog as a role model
- Fenced yard
- Cats unknown
- Kids – ages 12+ with experience with dogs
