Ellie - American Bulldog and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Meet Ellie! Ellie and her sister Cami were part of a litter of 6. Their owner was able to rehome the other 4, but these quiet sisters haven't found their perfect match yet. In their previous home, the girls lived alongside other dogs and cats (but the cats were a little scary for them!)) and were noted to be very sweet, just a little timid. Ellie is looking for a home that'll teach her basic manners (she's still a teenager after all!) and how to be a little less scared of the world.

Thinking about adding a friend to your family? This sweet gal is currently available for both adoption and foster and would love to meet you! Interesting in fostering? Email foster@anticruelty.org to let the foster team know! If you would like to meet Ellie and potentially adopt, stop by our Adoption Center at 510 N. LaSalle to meet them and all of their friends.
