Meet Ellie, a stunning 11-month-old female dog with a heart as big as Texas! 🌟 This beautiful girl, believed to be a Malinois or a Malinois mix, currently weighs in at around 40 pounds. She’s just getting started on her journey to adulthood, and while she might fill out a little more, she’s not expected to grow much larger than she is now. Now, let’s talk about Ellie’s incredible story. She was found abandoned in rural Texas, bravely facing the world on her own. 💔 Sadly, during that time, her rear leg suffered a severe injury. Thankfully, after being rescued by animal control and brought to the shelter, she received the critical amputation she needed. Fast forward to today—she’s healed beautifully, gained weight, and is ready to embrace her new life! Ellie is the definition of resilience and joy! She gets along fabulously with other dogs 🐕 and adores people of all ages. And let’s not forget her energy! 💥 This girl doesn’t let having one less leg slow her down—oh no! She’s high energy and is just bursting with enthusiasm. Ellie would thrive with an active family who can help her shine! 🌈 Health-wise, she's got it all covered. Ellie is up to date on her vaccines, has been dewormed, and is microchipped. She comes with her medical records and an interstate health certificate from a vet in Texas, which certifies her to be in good condition—talk about a worry-free adoption! Her adoption fee is $500, which is crucial for supporting the many animals in her rescue who need medical attention that far exceeds their adoption costs. If Ellie doesn’t receive an adoption hold before her arrival in Wisconsin, she’ll be available for meet-and-greets at our upcoming adoption events or through appointments with her loving foster family. ✨ Are you ready to give this testament to bravery and spirit a forever home?
