Hi Ellie! Happy Dog of the Day to you, sweet baby girl, beautiful girl!!!

I was so touched by your background story, sweetheart, and so very grateful to your human for not only choosing rescue, but choosing you! You may have come to your family with a bit of emotional baggage, but thankfully your human saw past all that, saw you for the diamond in the rough that you were, and was willing to commit to doing it all might take to heal your wounded spirit!

My beloved Cody, now at the label, the Rainbow Bridge, was a Husky x Shep deemed unadoptable, languishing past her "adorable" puppy stage, at the shelter with the label of "dog unwanted." That was the banner on her rescue flyer, posted on the bulletin board at my local supermarket. I saw it and it haunted me. So, that day, I called the shelter and within hours she was home to stay! She was so fearful that first day, having been abused from puppyhood, and cowered at raised voices, the sight of men, and strangers. But with a time and a lot of love and patience, she made great progress over the years, learning to love and trust, and I have no doubt that as the years go by, your fears will grow fewer and fewer...just look how far you've already come! Just like me and my Cody, you and your person were destined to be together, and it does my heart good knowing that one beautiful, most deserving doggie was given a second chance at happiness!

Thanks to your wonderful human for sharing your beautiful self and uplifting story with us, Ellie! I hope you're enjoying your well earned day of honor, being spoiled rotten!
Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Ellie!!!
