Ellie - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Marion, Ohio

This is Ellie. Every time we tell her to sit for a picture, she takes that as an invitation to tell us what's on her mind. It never fails! So, in every picture henceforth, you'll see her yapping away.

Ellie originally came to us in 2023 as a stray and was adopted out. Her adopter ended up homeless and later got arrested, so Ellie wound up back at the pound.

Ellie is thought to be around 7 years old. She did not live with other dogs as far as we know, but we'd be happy to do meet and greets!

If you're looking for a dog to play the role of therapist and bff all in one, Ellie is that pup!
