This shy stray couldn’t even meet her rescuers’ eyes, but now she’s discovering what love truly feels like

Meet Ellie, a puppy born into a horrible situation.

She was a homeless girl on the streets searching shelter and battling for scraps to eat. But this was about to change for Ellie.

Keenan finally rescued Ellie, who arrived at a shelter feeling a little dazed.

Ellie spent some time getting used to such tender surroundings since she had never known the warmth of a bed.

She was afraid of everything and had no appetite to speak of.

A few months later, a couple named Suzanne Perez and Dillion James came to the shelter looking to adopt and growing their little family.

The instant they met Ellie — a Blue Heeler and American Staffy Mix — they felt she would be the right dog for them.

New Life

Ellie was adopted by the couple who got her into the car and home in no time. Ellie was understandably quiet in the car, unsure of what was happening.

While it took Ellie a lot to adjust to the new family, she felt secure.

Gradually, she began to settle, to get a sense of how love and tenderness felt, and her true character began to emerge.

There was no more shy about her, Ellie was the happiest puppy ever!

She enjoys running, playing, and snuggling with both her family and her feline sibling.

Importance Of Adopting

In a research done by The Zebra there are around 3.3 million dogs that enter shelters every year in the U. The unfortunate reality is that 670,000 dogs are euthanised. If we are keen on decreasing this number, adoption will definitely play a very big role.

But bringing a dog home is more than just rescuing them and giving them a safe place to live. Which also means you will have a lifelong friend.

Dogs are social animals and enjoy being around people, so they will provide you with companionship and emotional support, decreasing loneliness and making your life more fulfilling.

As such, owning a sweet pup would open doors for a card-carrying good citizen. It will give all the sweetness to the whole family! Joy, company, completion!

Save a pup, adopt now!
