Ellie - AL

Hello, my name is Ellie and I’m a pointer mix, about a year old and am currently in the Birmingham, Alabama area. I was found abandoned on a farm and a nice family is trying to help me find a forever home.
 
I’ve been to the vet and am very healthy, was spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.  When I was found I had demodectic mange from my Momma but that was treated and no issue since.  You’ll get all of my vet documents when you pick me up.
 
I currently live with 3 children and I really like those small humans. I also currently live with two older dogs (80 lb boxer male and 40 lb terrier female) and I love them both!  I’d love a running/playing canine partner but would like to meet them first to make sure they like me (but I’m really likeable…I just can play hard sometimes when I get excited).  My time at the dog park is super fun – I love to socialize and since I’m super cute, other dogs seem to like me too.  I haven’t met a cat yet, so don’t know about those…
 
I’m very smart and am crate-trained and sleep in my crate at nighttime. If you leave the house, you’ll need to crate me (with a super good treat so I know the crate is my good place) and then I won’t get into trouble while you’re gone. I’m also house-trained, play fetch like a pro and hunt chipmunks like you’ve never seen.
 
I am looking for a home with a tall fenced yard (6+ ft) since I’ve been known to jump my current 4 ft fence to see what fun stuff is on the other side.  A family that will play fetch with me is a must.  Trees and/or bushes in my fenced yard are a big plus so there are creatures to hunt.  And hey, if you’re willing to teach me to hunt bigger things than chipmunks, that would be awesome – although there’s no guarantee I’d be good at it, but boy would it be fun to try.
 
And finally, I would really love a family that loves me, lets me cuddle with them at night, and let’s me RUN RUN RUN to get all my pointer energy out – it’s my FAV thing to do!
 
If you’re interested in adopting me, please email the very nice woman who rescued me, Katie, at kchampion1014@gmail.com
