Ella is a 2-year-old American Pit/Boxer Mix in Stockbridge, GA, who needs $650 for Abdominal Exploratory surgery.

Ella came into our lives when my husband and moved into our first home together. We went to our nearest shelter as we wanted to rescue a dog and add an addition to our family. And there Ella was, so sweet, big puppy eyes and we instantly knew she was the one. We brought her home that day and learned about her silly personality and have bonded since. She is the most loving, and silly dog I’ve met.

I gotta say I think my husband and Ella have the strongest bond in the house. They cannot be away from one another and I absolutely adore it. I have a 5 year old daughter as well whom Ella has such mother instincts over. They are the best buddies as my daughter loves to play and keep her entertained.

Since the pandemic has begun, we’ve had to use our emergency funds due to both my husband and myself losing our jobs. We are now back at work, but financially cannot afford to take her back to the vet for a fuller diagnostic procedure.

Since we’ve rescued Ella she’s been at the Pet hospital a few times. She has a very sensitive stomach, that seems to get worse over time. We’ve switch her eating types, raw feeding, brand switch and nothing seems to work. She seems like she gets sick so easily with times where she’s vomited over 30 times in a single day.

Ella is so special to us because of her unique personality. She literally acts like a person whether it’s jealousy over my husband or when something isn’t going her way and she gets vocal, but in the cutest way haha. She is the most loving and sincere dog I’ve ever had, gets along with everyone and will instantly want belly rubs from any stranger!
