Ellie - Terrier Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:


I am a sweet and sensitive girl who takes a little time to build trust and make friends.


New things are a little scary to me, but I all I need is time and someone to show me it's okay.

I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!



I can be overwhelmed by overhandling, restraint or touch. I may exhibit my discomfort in a variety of ways and will need to go to a dog savvy home.

Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.

The type of home I'm looking for:
I may do best as the only dog in the home.
