Ellie was scared of everything and had little appetite, struggling to feel safe in her new environment.
As time passed, a couple, Suzanne Perez and Dillion James, visited the shelter, hoping to adopt a furry companion and welcome a new member into their family.

Importance Of Adopting
Research by The Zebra shows that 3.3 million dogs enter shelters across the U.S. each year, and sadly, 670,000 are euthanized. Adoption is crucial in reducing this number.
But adopting a dog isn’t just about saving a life and giving them a safe, loving home—it also means gaining a loyal companion for life.
Dogs are social animals that thrive on companionship, offering unwavering loyalty, emotional support, and comfort. They help reduce loneliness and bring endless joy to their owners’ lives.
Adopting a rescue pup not only gives them a second chance but also enriches the life of their new family. It’s a bond filled with love, companionship, and fulfillment.
