Little Miss Ellie Needs a New Home!

Little Miss Ellie came to our tiny rescue today. Her parents called yesterday asking if we could take her in...if we didn't, she was off to the pound. To be honest, we were a bit hesitant. We have several dogs in rescue right now and we can't even afford the vet bills for them, let alone a newbie. However, we agreed to evaluate Ellie.

This morning, Ellie came bounding into our facility, full of life. She was a little dirty but happy as a clam. She had a pinch collar on, which her former owners used to tie her out in the backyard. Some of the prongs were bent in akward directions - the collar had been used for quite sometime, and Ellie's neck was black underneath where the collar had rubbed.

Just one look and we were smitten. We knew that if this poor girl ended up in the shelter, it would mean near certain death. After all, she is a pit bull...and she isn't a puppy anymore. There are far too many pits in the shelter and we couldn't bear to send Ellie off...we knew she wouldn't thrive in the shelter system.

So we took her into our tiny rescue and she is now going through a basic obedience program while we search for a home worthy of this little princess.

If you or someone you know is looking for a companion, please contact us at 619-233-1005. Ellie is 2 years young, will have basic obedience under her belt in no time, is fully housebroken, spayed and current on her vaccinations. She is looking for someone with an active lifestyle as she loves her walks and would be even more thrilled to go for a hike or to the beach with you.
