Goals & Next Steps for Ellie

My Recovery Plan
  • Secure a foster home in the U.S. to continue heartworm treatment and address her leg injury.
  • Schedule for spaying and x-rays to assess the leg injury; ideally, these procedures will occur together to minimize anesthesia.
  • Continue to provide a nurturing environment to help Ellie adjust to her new life.
  • My rescue mom and dad are covering costs for all of my medical needs so that my new forever parents won't have to worry about the costs.
Find Me A Foster Home
To find a loving foster home in the U.S. where I can continue to comfortably recover and receive the medical care I need and transition into my forever home.
Find Me A Forever Home

Ellie's Roots

...from the streets of Eleuthera
Ellie lived on the streets of Eleuthera, where she struggled to find food and water. She suffered from bug bites and was in poor condition when rescued. Since then, she has been under foster care, receiving love and care from her rescue mom and foster family.

Goals

What's next for Ellie?
  • Complete her treatment and surgeries so she can live a healthier life.
  • Find a nurturing home that will nurse her through her recovery journey and provide endless love.

How You Can Help?

If you're unable to adopt, consider supporting my medical needs. Every little bit helps, and together, we can ensure many dogs like me on Eleuthera get the care they deserve.

Requirements for Foster Home

We will do as much as we can for Ellie but need to know she will feel and be safe, healthy, loved, protected, and well-taken care of.
  • A compassionate and caring environment to help Ellie feel safe and secure.
  • Support for her ongoing (paid) medical needs, including heartworm treatment and surgery for her leg.
  • A commitment to helping her acclimate to indoor living.
