Sweet, Senior, and Special—Ellie the Boston Terrier/Chihuahua Mix Is Looking for a Calm, Loving Home

Meet Ellie, a 10–11-year-old Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix who weighs around 9–10 pounds and has a heart full of love. Ellie is currently in a foster home with both small and large dogs and is described as incredibly sweet and “low maintenance.” She’s not one for long walks or big adventures—this gentle girl prefers sniffing around the yard and curling up for naps. Ellie is especially fond of her foster mom and the teen kids in the home and happily soaks up attention and belly rubs.

Why She’s the Ultimate Sweet and Sensitive Companion
💤 Low-energy, homebody vibe—perfect for a calm household
🐾 Loves exploring the yard at her own pace
👩 Bonds deeply with women and older kids
🐶 Gets along well with small to medium dogs (though she’s not into playtime)
🎀 A total sweetheart who just wants to be near her people
🩺 Eye condition is managed with daily drops—pressure has been stable for 3+ months

What She’s Looking For
✔️ A female-only household, as she is frightened of most adult men
✔️ A quiet home with gentle energy—ideal for a senior dog
✔️ Someone willing to provide her daily eye drops and special kidney-support food
✔️ A family who values companionship, cuddles, and routine over adventure

Ellie may have lost some sight, but she hasn’t lost an ounce of love to give. She’s a gentle, special soul who deserves a peaceful retirement in a home filled with comfort and care. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion, Ellie could be the one who steals your heart.
