Meet the herd part 2: Ellie Mae š©·
Ellie Mae came to us as a barely 6 month old puppy who suffered a catastrophic spinal injury that left her with diminished feeling in her back legs and lower spine which also left her without the ability to know when she needs to go potty.
Her prior owners said she was fine the night before and they didnāt know what happenedā¦. š to which say: Are you f*cking kidding me?
They had her chained outside in the middle of the winter because they didnāt want to ruin their new flooringā¦.again⦠Are you f*cking kidding me? š”
Ellie Mae was taken to a veterinarian by a neighbor and there her path crossed with a Rescue4All adopter who immediately called me and asked if we would take her because they were going to most likely euthanize her.
I said yes and when she got here she was such a happy girl but needed to build up a lot of strength and learn a new way of moving.
Here we are just 4 years later and despite her spinal injury she can now run and walk with her own flare š
She still wears a diaper, she loves water almost as much as she loves attention.
She is living her best life here at the Refuge š«¶
