Need to rehome my sweet girl
This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but I’m looking to rehome my dog Ellie.
I’ve been laid off for the second time in one year, which has significantly affected both my finances and my time. I still haven’t fully recovered from the first layoff and now I’m facing another. I previously worked remotely but I’ve accepted the quickest job I could find, which is on-site and requires long hours. I know that keeping Ellie crated for long periods five days a week isn’t the life she deserves.
I’ve looked into daycare and hiring a dog walker but unfortunately, I’m not in a financial position to sustain for five days a week and leave for long hours. I’m afraid I won’t be for some time.
I’ve had Ellie since she was a puppy and adopted her from ACPS. She’s about a year old, crate trained, potty trained, spayed, up to date on her shots, and has completed a five-week training program.
Ellie is incredibly smart, but that also means she needs plenty of mental stimulation. If she gets bored, she’ll find her own entertainment which usually means chewing on something she shouldn’t. She’s high energy, so an active owner would be a great fit. Once she’s tired out though, she’s the best cuddle buddy.
She’s great with other dogs but because she’s strong and energetic, she would do best with a dog closer to her size. She also has a high prey drive, so a home without cats or small children would be the best fit for her.
Ellie is a sweet, confident, and spunky girl. I would love to see her go to a home with a backyard, another dog to play with, or simply someone who has the time and energy to give her the active life she deserves.
Ellie is my baby and she is incredibly loved. I’m hoping she can become someone else’s baby and be loved just as much.
