Ellie

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Ellie's life was far from sheltered. Just four to five weeks old, she was found alone in the woods with two other puppies. Their mother was nowhere to be found, and we don't know how they ended up there or what happened before. Her finder took the puppies in, cared for them, and brought them to the shelter. While they are safe and cared for, a small dog's best place is with a loving family. Ellie seems determined to make the most of her new life. She is friendly, affectionate, and lively. She finds humans fascinating and approaches them with curiosity. Of course, she also has a lot of energy: playing, romping, exploring new things, and occasionally seeking attention. Ellie's days would be much longer if she could. She gets along well with other dogs and can learn from her peers. We don't know yet if she could share her future home with a cat, as she has not met one before. Visually, Ellie is a small dog with her own charm. Her unique coat pattern makes her unmistakable and gives her face a special expression. Add to that her curious puppy gaze, which attentively observes what's happening around her. A sweet little appearance that definitely brings its own recognition value. Ellie is still getting used to her new life, and a real family life is new to her. Therefore, whoever adopts her won't get a ready-made family member with an instruction manual, but a puppy that wants to learn everything with her humans. Becoming house-trained, walking on a leash, calming down at home, and eventually staying alone for a while: the entire puppy ABC is still ahead of her. There will be days when Ellie surprises her humans with her progress, and probably days when a puddle ends up on the floor or a seemingly good puppy idea seems less successful from a human perspective. Patience, understanding, and loving consistency are needed in these moments. A positively working dog school can be a great support so that Ellie can gather good experiences from the start and grow into a well-coordinated team with her humans. And when the little forest girl slowly becomes a young dog, puberty will also be around the corner. Then, rules may be thoroughly questioned again, boundaries tested, and things that seemed to be understood for a long time may be temporarily erased from memory. Whoever accompanies this time with composure, humor, and clear orientation will eventually notice that the little whirlwind has become an adult companion. Ellie has already had to experience in her first weeks of life how it is to cope without a safe home. It would be all the better if she didn't have to search for where she belongs for the rest of her life. She needs people who give her time, learn with her, give her security, and enjoy discovering the world together with her. After a successful preliminary check and against the assumption of a deposit, Ellie can travel to her new home chipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-free. She brings her EU pet passport with her. Who wants to make Ellie's unknown start in the woods a story with a happy ending and show her how wonderful it is to finally belong somewhere? Thank you to Lena. You have given Ellie a name and the chance at a new life.
