About Ellie

Ellie it's a very sweet and affectionate girl. She is shy with new people, but once she knows you and trusts you, she is very attentive and loving.
She gets along with cats and other dogs. She doesn't love to be left alone and can be vocal about it, but otherwise she rarely barks unless there is an issue. She would prefer a home with older children, as young ones scare her.
Ellie rides well in a car and likes to play. She is very snuggly and loves attention. She gets excited when you return and does zoomies occasionally, but she is not an overly energetic dog.

We were told when she was surrendered that she was house trained, but in her foster home, this has proved to be a bit of a challenge for her. Sometimes she will go outside and other times she will not. She needs some work in this avenue, but otherwise she is nearly a perfect little dog!If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application.

All our pets are spayed/ neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and treated for parasites prior to adoption.

We strive to match our adoptable pets to the best homes for their needs and personalities. Adoptions are not done on a first come, first serve basis. They are done in the order of what homes are the best match for that particular pet.
