July 23 UPDATE FROM ELLIE MAE'S FOSTER MOM

"She will make someone a wonderful pet.  Does extremely well with other dogs large and small; working on cats.  When the cat is on a garage bench above her no problem.  A mean cat that smacks her in the nose will be fine. [I enjoy a mean, loud, feisty cat verse one that flees.]
She really Likes children, wants to lay on the floor and be next to her person.
She WILL steal food, but we are working on that!  She is becoming wheel chair friendly.  That is a big plus for some potential adopters. She sits for treats and rarely barks.
Her back legs bother her a little. Probably too much concrete during her life. I am sure she will become stronger with the walks.  Everyone I introduce her to is impressed with her. I am enjoying fostering her!"

Please don't let my gray face turn you away! I'm not old by any means-I'm just into my prime.  My name is Ellie Mae- and I am as sweet as a Mastiff can be. And I'm smiling in these photos because I am SO thankful to be out of the animal shelter....the people there were afraid of Mastiffs. They even squirted me directly with the hose to clean the run out & I was feeling so unloved and miserable.

Thank goodness, my foster Mom picked me up and saved me from that awful jail. She was gentle and kind and talked to me so nice. She fed me some really great food, gave me a lovely bath & now all of the awful fleas & ticks are gone!  BOY do I feel so much better now.

 I even get to play with other girl dogs at my foster home. They all say how I can run like the wind! She says I can't hang out with the boys right now because I am in season though I want to play with them too. That part isn't really fair but soon I'll be spayed and won't have to worry about that ever again.

 At my foster mom's house I have a special favorite toy & I love to play with it when I am in the yard. People really are good- I knew it all along.

 I am housebroken & incredibly affectionate.  I love to sneak up on the couch when no one is looking.  I love both men & women, other dogs, and with a ten year old child at my foster home- but I have not been tested with cats. They say I deserve a good life since my previous life was not so good...and they don't know the half of it. If only I could really talk.

The sad fact is that my owners cruelly dropped me off in the box outside of the animal shelter. I kept hoping they would come back but they never did. The people there said that I have had puppies at some point.

They think I am about 5 to 6 year years old.  Do you have a place for me in your home & heart???????

If you have the time and love in your heart to make me a family member for ever please fill out an adoption application at adoption application mentioning me by name and state.
