Ellie

Description

Ellie came to us from the city pound on 8/2/2026. We did learn a little bit about her from her former owner, who no longer care for her. Ellie is her real name and she's around a year and a few months old. She is a standard poodle mix and was described by her former owner as a labradoodle, but we aren't sure if that is entirely accurate. She looks to maybe be mixed with border collie or Australian shepherd. She has been vet checked, spayed, and microchipped, and the vet staff also shaved her down before her surgery because she arrived with a very matted coat. Her fee is $150. Ellie will need definitely need basic training in all areas, but she's still an exuberant and friendly girl. She's young, very active, and incredibly bouncy, so she will require plenty of exercise. It would be helpful if her new home has experience with dogs similar to her because of their high grooming needs. A potential adopter should be prepared for the extra work and expense of this. Ellie should do well with other dogs that match her in size and energy level. Her enthusiasm might be too much for cats. She would do better with kids over 8 because she is so energetic and needs training. She is an incredibly loving girl who has a lot of potential! NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.
