Ellie is a 14 year old Beagle in Springfield, MO, who needs $2,000 for Immune GI Microbiome Titer Test and Diagnostics.

So Ellie is a foster fail. She came into my life about six years ago through a local animal rescue. She had been living in a garage for an unknown amount of time, because the lady who had taken her in didn't want her messing up the house. I also have a chi weenie who is older and belongs to my cousin who lives with me. Ellie is really sweet and calm natured.

So she has conjunctivitis, arthritis, and obesity. I currently take her to Angel Animal Hospital in Springfield, MO under the care of Dr. Nie. She has a lot of pain and stiffness, so we are working on treatment to get her pain managed.

My Ellie is a precious dog. She has separation anxiety, but I've always interpreted that as her just really missing and needing me. When I was diagnosed with mental health issues three years ago, she was eager for me to get home from the hospital. She had actually barreled through the screen door of the office and tore through the wire mesh. She didn't get injured.

I make 25,000 a year gross income, and I have over 4,000 in taxes due throughout the year. I inherited my grandparents home, and I have to pay the taxes on it. It's better than renting or trying to purchase a home, but I have other expenses that pop up periodically as well.
