Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat) Dog

ELLIE the Dog needs a home

Hi, my name is ELLIE and I would love to meet you. I am a Spayed Female Chihuahua - Long Haired mix. The shelter staff think I am about 7 years old. I have been at the shelter since Jan 22, 2018.

Meet Ellie! This shy little princess is looking for a very special home. Ellie has a chronic medical condition called Addison`s disease that requires regular vet visits and medications, and it is very important that she have a low stress lifestyle. But that`s okay, Ellie told us that she is a bit of a homebody anyway! She wants nothing more than to have a quiet corner with a soft bed to curl up on, and regular attention from her humans. She DEFINITELY prefers her people to be adults, kids are just too much for her! Ellie is a shy girl at first and needs a family with lots of patience who can take plenty of time - and treats! - to help her come out of her shell. It would also be a big plus if her new family has a regular vet that they use and can get her started on a good relationship with the vet from the beginning. Ellie would probably do fine with the company of another mellow dog or cat, or she may be pretty content to be your one and only! Ellie is currently hanging out in a foster home, for more information about her please contact [email protected].
