Ellie – The Sweet, Blue-Eyed Snugglebug Meet Ellie, a 2-year-old Pit Bull Terrier and Husky mix weighing 52 pounds. With her stunning blue eyes, and gentle curiosity, Ellie is equal parts independent explorer and affectionate cuddlebug. She may start off a touch reserved, but it doesn’t take long for her tail to lift and her personality to shine. Lovely leash manners: Walks nicely on leash, sometimes leading the way with confidence but easy to guide. Curious and observant: Enjoys sniffing, exploring, and checking out her surroundings, including the mysterious contents of a hanging basket in the yard! Sweetly affectionate: Loves leaning her body into your knees for pets and will give you the most endearing “why’d you stop?” look when the petting pauses. Eager to learn: Working on “sit” and “down,” eager to please and connect through gentle encouragement. Social and attentive: Comes right back when called, wagging softly and making eye contact that says she’s ready for more connection anytime. Ellie’s a sweetheart who thrives on companionship, gentle structure, and affection. She could happily join a home with a well-matched dog friend—or be the beloved solo snugglebug soaking up all the love herself.
