Ellie is a pretty 55 lb, 2 yr old Pitbull female. She has passed the cat test but would take a structured introduction to ensure everybody likes everybody. Miss Ellie is the sweetest girl despite her rough beginning to life. She is what we would consider a Velcro dog. Ellie would prefer to be next to her owner as much as possible! She is great with kids and cats, but dog selective. She would do best as the only dog in the home. Ellie is house broken as long as she is let outside after meals and drinks! Ellie walks great on a leash. She does not pull, but she may try to walk in front of you instead of next to you. Keeping her on a short leash to your side solves this issue. Ellie is a big snuggle bug especially after a nice walk! She will prefer sleeping with you at night! Ellies manners need to be fine-tuned. She does jump up on you wanting to be pet, but with persistence this habit can be broken. Ellie knows her name and has a great recall, except if there is a squirrel around! Overall, she is a beautiful, sweet, highly intelligent pup who simply wants and needs to be loved.

The adoption fee is $300 and covers age appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter.

Applications are typically worked in time stamp order based on date/time of submission. If you have other dogs in your home, they must all meet the potential adoptee. It may save you a trip to bring them with you when you visit, if you are certain you want to adopt a new family member.

*****We are currently operating by appointment only during the social distancing stage of quarantine. If you want to meet this pet, or are interested in adopting, please submit an inquiry or email to email@townandcountryhumanesociety.org.

Someone from the rescue will contact you and/or your family and determine, on a broad level, whether you might be a fit for the animal. If so, they will provide instructions for completing the application. Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted to set up a time to meet at the shelter or the foster home. The introduction between you and the pet will be supervised by one of the dog counselors or the foster. If all goes well, you can adopt during the same visit.
