What is America's Favorite Pet?

What's your dog’s favorite toy and/or go-to treat?

Ellie’s favorite things are her BarkBox toys and peanut butter! Since she’s teething, she loves anything she can safely chew, especially surprise toys that squeak or crunch. Peanut butter is her ultimate treat—she and her big sister Olive are true “peanut butter friends” and never miss a chance to enjoy it together.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

Ellie’s most unique quality is her deep blue husky eyes. Almost everyone she meets gets completely lost in them. Paired with her brown husky-pit mix coat and her expressive, vocal personality, she has a way of connecting with people instantly—before she even makes a sound.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Ellie represents hope. Her mom was rescued from euthanasia while pregnant, giving Ellie the chance at life. From a scared little puppy to a joyful, loving sister and best friend, her story shows that every dog deserves a chance. Ellie is proof that rescue dogs don’t just survive—they thrive.
