She and her sister Chloe were found abandoned—tied to a post, scared and unsure of what was happening.<br/><br/>A kind-hearted woman stepped in and reached out for help, and we were able to bring them to safety. Ellie was frightened at first, but even then, her gentle nature shined through.<br/><br/>At the vet, we confirmed she was not pregnant like her sister. She was spayed and given the care she needed to start fresh. With time, patience, and love, Ellie learned to trust again—revealing the calm, affectionate girl she truly is.<br/><br/>Today, she's no longer that scared dog left behind. Ellie has blossomed into a peaceful, loving companion, ready for a forever home where she will always feel safe and cherished.<br/><br/> Ellie is currently in Mexico, waiting for a committed trial family to begin her journey north on a 10-day trial.<br/> Adoption fee: $600<br/><br/> Apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org<br/><br/>Ellie is ready to fill your life with quiet love, warmth, and unwavering companionship.
