Ellie is a ~5-year-old Terrier mix with a big personality packed into a perfectly portable 17-pound body.

The Important Stuff (aka: why you’ll love her)

Potty-trained âœ...
Crate-trained âœ...
Excellent in the car (road trip co-pilot material)
Not destructive (your shoes are safe )
LOVES fetch
Lives for walkies
Very people-oriented—she wants to be wherever you are

Personality

Ellie is equal parts sweet, sassy, and playful. She’s got that classic terrier sparkle—fun, a little opinionated (in a cute way), and full of life. She loves her people deeply and will happily be your shadow and your personal fetch trainer.

Social Life

Ellie has lived with other dogs (including fosters and her “sister,” Jojo) and does well with proper introductions. She especially tends to do best with male dogs or as the only dog, where she can fully relax and shine.

On walks, she can get a bit excited and vocal when passing other dogs, but this is very manageable and improves with consistency and structure. Once she’s comfortable, her playful, social side really comes out.

Her Ideal Home

A home where she can be the only dog, or with a well-matched male dog. Female dogs are a possibility if intros are slow and the other dog isn't dominant.
An owner who appreciates a little personality and a lot of love
Someone who will throw the ball... repeatedly... possibly forever

If you’re looking for a loyal, fun, slightly sassy companion who will love you endlessly (and keep you on a regular fetch schedule), Ellie might just be your girl

Ellie's adoption fee is $200 and an online application can be completed online at www.texasgreatdane.org.

Ellie is in a foster home in Austin.

If your adoption application is approved and you are traveling from out-of-town, we hold your chosen pet for one hour past the event start time to allow for travel time.

We are an all-volunteer organization and do not currently have the resources to process out-of-state adoptions.

Our puppies, purebred dogs, and small breed dogs do get adopted quickly so we encourage interested parties to apply online.
