Meet Ellie: A Plott/Coonhound mix with a heart as big as her bark! Ellie’s journey hasn’t been easy. She was adopted, returned, and then found her forever home with me. Since then, she’s overcome countless fears, conquered cancer, and even kept wagging after losing an eye in the battle.

Don’t let the gray fool you, this girl is full of life. Ellie lives for walks in the woods, chasing smells only she can detect, and greeting the world with her signature “Roo Roo!” (That’s hound-speak for “hello” and “thank you,”). She’s a talker, an adventurer, and the best hound dog you could ask for.

Now a little grayer but just as spunky, Ellie reminds us all that age is just a number and joy can be found in every single moment. Vote for Ellie, the one-eyed wonder who’s still living her best life, one happy “Roo Roo” at a time. 🐾💛
