Meet Ellie: Your Spirited and Sassy Adventure Buddy

Hey there, I’m Ellie! I’m a red and rust Doberman with a docked tail and natural ears, and I’m about 18 weeks old. I may be young, but I’ve already had quite the journey and am ready to find my forever home.

A Little About Me:

Personality: I’m a high-energy puppy with a huge personality. I’m incredibly sassy and stubborn—I don’t like to take “no” for an answer! I’m basically in my velociraptor stage, full of energy and always ready to play. I’m not overly affectionate right now and would rather play than cuddle, but I promise I’ll bring lots of fun to your life.

My Story: I was found abandoned on a walking trail in Atlanta and taken to Fulton County by a Good Samaritan. This kind person couldn’t bear to leave me in the shelter and fostered me through my stray hold. They continued to foster me until I was ready to find my forever family.

Manners and Training: I’m potty trained and crate trained, and I know how to sit. I’m in the process of learning leash manners and I love my walks. I need someone who will spend time training and teaching me manners, especially when it comes to walking on a leash. I’m very mouthy and need a lot of work to learn that biting isn’t a game and isn’t acceptable. My adopters will be required to register for training classes upon adoption to help me become the best dog I can be.

Special Considerations: I have one eye, but it doesn’t slow me down at all! My only challenge with sight is that I need a light on at night when going down the stairs. I need a Doberman-experienced home with no small children, as I might bowl them over or accidentally bite while trying to play. Teenagers are fine, and I’d do best in a home with another dog to play with and help me burn my energy. No female dogs, though—male dogs are fine. We don’t know how I am with cats or small animals.

Health and Vetting: I’m in great health! I’ve been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and I’m negative for intestinal parasites and heartworms.

Why You’ll Love Me: I’m highly intelligent, brave, and always interested in what you’re doing. I’ll keep you on your toes and would probably do well in a structured activity with training. I’m toy and food motivated, which makes training easier and more fun. If you’re looking for a spirited, sassy, and energetic companion who’s always up for an adventure, I’m your girl. Let’s make each other’s lives full of fun and excitement—apply to adopt me today!

Can’t wait to meet you! 🐾❤️

Love,
Ellie
