Ellie is the absolute best 7 year old dog. She is the best mix of energetic and calm as she adapts to her environment. If you want to play fetch, run, go hiking, have her run next to you while you bike, go on long roadtrips or just chill at home—she’s your dog! She really loves to spend most of her time finding a spot to curl up at home and hang out while you relax though. She has been on tons of adventures with me, and I would not be giving her up if I was less busy. Ellie’s only concern is she is dog aggressive, so she needs a home with no other dogs. She is really friendly with children (I’m a nanny and would often take the kids over to hang out with her). She’s also friendly with other animals. She’s well trained to stay by your side on walks and runs. She is pretty good with recall off leash; although, I only do this on remote hikes where there won’t be other dogs. She also loves to swim! She is super house trained and does not cause any issues.
