My deepest thanks to anyone who can help Rosie overcome
this terrible tradgedy. The Shelter recieves no funds from the
city, Rosie & her volunteers do everything themselfs.All funds
donated are tax deductable. Southside Animal Shelter was
founded by Rosie and she serves as the Director. She goes
to other counties (outside Indy) as well as Animal Care &
Control here in Indianapolis. and pulls cats & dogs for adoption
from her no-kill Shelter. In the TV interview, Rosie said that
her dog Queenie who was 20 yrs. old, had been with her since
high school. She also lost her house & all her personal things.
She lost 10 of her own cats. This is a tremendous loss for
anyone, yet she goes on because of her love for the animals.

I'm sure she will be crying herself to sleep for a long time, yet
she goes on with her mission in life. I only wish I was half as
strong as Mrs. Rosie Ellis. She is a true hero for animals. Liz.
