Ellie's Story

Ellie is a beautiful 5-month-old German Shepherd and Hound mix who came from South Carolina after capturing our hearts during a visit down south. We couldn’t leave her behind, and she was given the chance at a bright future up north where she is now thriving and ready for her forever home.<br/><br/>Ellie is doing exceptionally well with her potty training and has already learned to ring a bell to let her foster family know when she needs to go outside. Her future adopters should be willing to continue reinforcing this training. She is also crate trained, making her a great fit for a home looking for a puppy with a strong foundation.<br/><br/>She does well with other dogs; however, Ellie prefers the company of male dogs over female dogs. Because of this, we feel she would do best as an only dog or in a home with male canine companions.<br/><br/>Ellie absolutely adores children and is currently fostered in a home with a two-year-old boy, whom she is incredibly gentle and patient with. She is very smart and eager to learn, picking up training quickly and responding well to guidance and structure.<br/><br/>Ellie is still a young puppy and will thrive in a home committed to continuing her training and helping her grow into a confident, well-rounded adult dog. In return, she will bring endless love, loyalty, and companionship.<br/><br/>Ellie’s Highlights:<br/> • Loves children and is very gentle<br/> • Crate trained<br/> • Bell trained for potty breaks and doing very well with house training<br/> • Dog friendly, with a preference for male dogs<br/> • Likely cat friendly with slow, proper introductions<br/> • Smart, eager to learn, and highly trainable<br/> • Ready for a loving forever home<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, intelligent young dog to grow with your family, Ellie may be the perfect <br/><br/>Adopt Ellie: www.freedomfirstrescue.com/Ellie

Freedom First Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adoption Requirements We want to ensure that our dogs are ending up in the best homes possible and we ask that you fulfill these requirements in order to adopt one of our dogs: Our age requirement is 23 year old and we do require a copy of your license to verify. If you do not own your home, we will require land lord approval. Everyone in the home needs to be supportive and accepting of the adoption (we run a criminal background checks for all adults over 18 that are living in the household). All people living in the home need to be able to do a meet and greet with the dog in question for adoption – this includes your current dog(s). This step happens AFTER your application and home visit are approved! Resident dogs must be surgically altered (spayed/neutered), up to date on core vaccinations (Rabies and Distemper), heartworm tested on a consistent basis AND/OR on monthly heartworm prevention. IF YOUR DOG IS NOT SPAYED/NEUTERED, DO NOT FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FOR ONE OF OUR DOGS UNLESS you can provide documentation from a licensed veterinarian stating why this is has not be done. **PLEASE NOTE: Submitting an application does NOT guarantee an adoption. There is a 3 part process. This starts with an application review. If your application is approved, you will move on to step two which is a home check. At that point if you are approved the last and final step will be a meet and greet with the dog in question for adoption. We DO NOT do female to female dog adoptions with our BULLY BREEDS!! Male to male or male to female adoptions with our bully breed dogs are acceptable!
