Meet ELLA BELLA


Sweet and gentle girl Elly, also known as “Ella Bella”, is from a puppy mill and was used for breeding for many years. When she arrived into our rescue in mid-October she had runny eyes, itchy, dry skin, tumours on her mammary glands and was thin. It was also clearly evident that she had been overbred and neglected however nothing seemed to stop this dog from shining – her love of people and good nature was unwavering. As a progress update, Ella Bella has now been spayed, had the tumours biopsied (all benign) she has had her stomach “tacked” to making bloating less likely (we have had a few bloat scares) and her eyes are being treated with drops until we can have them repaired (they are entropic). She is looking and feeling much better and is currently in a loving foster home in midtown Toronto. Foster mom Antoinette reports that Ella Bella is the quintessential dog; happy, social, loves people and is great with kids and other dogs.
She is housetrained, food motivated (keep food off counters with this gal!) not destructive when left alone and an all-around wonderful companion. Ella Bella is approximately 7-8 years old, 80 pounds, spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped and has been vetted at Leaside Animal Clinic. She still needs her entropic eyes repaired, but the rescue will be taking care of that in the very near future. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer dog than Ella Bella and she so deserves the best life has to offer after being held hostage in the puppy mill for most of even all, of her life. For more information about this gentle Labrador please contact Speaking of Dogs Rescue at: Lorraine@speakingofdogs.com, or by calling 416-444-4190.
Ella Bella is currently enrolled in an 8-week obedience course at North York Obedience Club and we thank them for their continued generosity and support for our rescue dogs!
Donations for her eye surgery are being accepted through our Canada Helps site here: http://bit.ly/z7V87E
Most needed, though, is a forever home where Elly will be cherished and loved and part of a caring family.
