Ellie has been through a lot in her 3 years. She was abused and abandoned and came to me with severe trust and behavioral issues. She’s come an incredibly long way and now does well with most strangers (just prefers to not be pet by them) and loves really hard. She’s extremely high energy and loves swimming and running and hiking. She definitely needs an experienced dog owner to handle her needs but she deserves a loving home regardless. I’ve found myself in a position of having no one to help me watch her and with working full time she is being neglected and I feel awful. She needs someone who has more time on their hands or at least is willing to spend their free time doing activities with her
