Meet Ellen – Your Sweet Shadow
Ellen is a gentle, tricolor Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix who’s about 9 years old. Petite at just 35 pounds, she’s the perfect size for snuggles and companionship. Ellen has already proven her resilience—after overcoming mammary issues and healing beautifully from her spay, she’s ready to enjoy the good life with a loving family.
What makes Ellen special
Sweet & Loyal: Ellen loves to follow her people everywhere, always eager to be part of whatever you’re doing.
Dog-Friendly: She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making her a great fit for multi-pet households.
Affectionate Companion: Ellen adores giving kisses, rubbing against her humans, and soaking up massages around her neck and face.
Couch Potato or Shadow: Left alone, she’s happy to relax quietly, but she’ll also trail you from room to room to keep you in sight.
Family-Friendly: Ellen loves everyone—including children—and greets new people with friendliness.
Low Energy: Due to age, she’s calm and easygoing, with modest exercise needs.
Special Considerations: Ellen is hearing impaired, stairs can be tricky for her, and she hasn’t been tested with cats—but her foster believes she’d do fine with them.
Ellen’s Ideal Home
Ellen is the kind of dog who will quietly brighten your days with her gentle presence and unconditional love. She’s happiest in a home where she can be near her humans, enjoying a relaxed lifestyle filled with affection.
