Ellie is a large, nervous dog who is uncomfortable with so many strangers at the shelter. She is a large girl, and can sometimes be reactive to strangers and other dogs on walks. She will need a foster willing to continue working on positive reinforcement training for her reactivity. She has done well around young children in a previous foster home. She has also lived with a cat successfully in her previous home and a foster home. She would need to meet any potential dog siblings prior to going to foster, although she may prefer to be the only dog.

How to Foster Ellie:

New fosters can take the first step by learning about fostering and signing up to become a new foster. Veteran foster parents can email fosters@hshv.org to schedule a pickup appointment.
