Ellie's Story

Meet Ellie! She’s part fruit bat, part African wild dog, and part cuddle bug. Honestly, she looks like a tiny version of a German shepherd. She’s young (born in Nov 2025) and still growing, so we’re guessing she’ll be a medium sized gal. She came from a hoarding situation with lots of cats, so she’s definitely seen some things.<br/>Ellie loves belly rubs, snuggling, and sprinting around the yard with her mouth wide open. Her pearly white grin is less “ferocious predator” and more “tiny gremlin having the time of her life.”<br/><br/>Miss Ellie is wizard at escape artistry and will need a tall secure fence, or leash walks to keep her safe. Ellie is looking for a home that appreciates a dog with personality, humor, and just a touch of unhinged energy. If you’ve ever wanted to share your life with a cuddly little goblin with a selective understanding of potty training, Ellie may be your girl! <br/><br/>To meet Ellie, please visit our site at www.hsfc.org and fill out an adoption application
