Ellie is a 10-year-old Golden Retriever Mix in Mishawaka, IN, who needs $2,000 for Diagnostics & Supportive Care.

Ellie is the sweetest dog you could ever meet. She lives with her 2 cat siblings and our other dog. She had been re-homed twice before coming to us, at no fault of her own! She is the kindest dog and loves to meet new people.

The other dog that Ellie lives with is her daughter, reunited after being apart for 3 years when we rescued her from a rough situation. They are inseparable - they eat together, play together, cuddle together, and we’ve even caught Ellie grooming her sometimes!

Even through being re-homed twice, having to join a whole new family, and shortly after, having to get her eye removed after we discovered she had melanoma, she has never stopped being happy and lovable! She likes to play, cuddle, and sing!

Ellie has been hospitalized at Medvet in Chicago for the last 5 days and we have done ever test available to find the reason for her symptoms. She’s unable to breath on her own so she’s on oxygen and her bloodwork continues to worsen every day. While we wait on those results, we may need to do more aggressive testing if she keeps getting worse.

We have spent every dime we have on her hospitalization, testing, and supplemental treatment but she needs more help. I can’t lose my girl because we can’t afford what she needs. She has been the bright spot in our family and brings us so much joy every day.
