1 Ellie1 Hi! I’m Ellie!!	2 Ellie2 I am a very sturdy and beautiful 22lb rat terrier girl (my foster mom says I am trying to trim down a pound or so but not too much)	3 Ellie3 I am sweet, well trained, and I love attention.
4 Ellie4 When I first arrived I had to meet the dogs at my new foster home	5 Ellie5 And learn the rules too (no doggies on the table at this place it I guess, sigh.	6 Ellie6 I was overwhelmed by all the changes and very nervous, but I didn’t get upset with anyone in the new house.
7 Ellie7 And before too long my natural terrier inquisitive nature took over and I just had to investigate.	8 Ellie8 I love attention and treats but I am very worried about new people and very very worried about hands especially coming at my face or head. I am not so sure I trust fast moving hands, but my foster mom said we will work on that.	9 Ellie9 I even met a cat. He is ok for a cat, he doesn’t run or scream so I just ignore him.
10 Ellie10 I am super smart and know several commands which I began to show off from the first day here! PS don’t look too closely at the chubby shoulder and butt rolls. Mom says I have to lose a little but I say it makes me more cuddly.	11 Ellie11 We have a big fenced yard here which I love and I don’t even mind the snow too much.	12 Ellie12 I made good friends with the other dogs in the house that are close to my age.
13 Ellie13 See how pretty I am?	14 Ellie14 I am completely potty trained and have had no accidents at all inside my foster home.	15 Ellie15 I like to play but I am just learning about how to play with other dogs. It must be a new thing for me.
16 Ellie16 I still get nervous pretty easily and so I need a home that understands how rat terriers think and what we need to feel secure and confident.	17 Ellie17 I am pretty comfortable hanging out alone with my humans.	18 Ellie18 But I am also fine with sharing space with another pack member as long as they are nice to me.
19 Ellie19 Got any room for me? I could be your next hiking companion!	20 Ellie20 OR your next movie buddy, I am easy going and just want lots of love!!	21 Ellie21 Please?
