Renee Female Rottweiler

Help get me adopted, share me on your favorite social networking sites!

Renee
Female Rottweiler
Est. Age on Arrival at Animal Ark: 1 year

Hello! I'm Renee. I came to Animal Ark, with my two puppies, from the Red Lake Reservation. My previous guardian surrendered us because they couldn't provide us with food. So I've been enjoying life at the shelter, with regular meals every day! I am a very sweet lady who loves any attention that can be spared. The shelter doesn't have very much of a history on me, but I am very smart and try my best to earn treats! I am going through treatments for heartworm, but also tested positive for lymes, anaplasmosis and erlichia, as well. I need to be kept fairly quiet throughout the treatment process and cannot go home or accept visitors until I'm better. I know it would help the shelter though, if you would consider becoming my sponsor. Sponsorships help in covering the costs of medical care for me and whoever else may need it! Thank you in advance for helping take care of me! BECAUSE I HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR HEARTWORM, LYMES, ANAPLASMOSIS AND ERLICHIA, I CANNOT BE ADOPTED UNTIL MY TREATMENTS ARE COMPLETE. PLEASE KEEP WATCHING MY PAGE FOR UPDATES ON MY PROGRESS.

History: Red Lake Rescue

Adoption Fee: $195.00
Microchip Fee: $5.00

Subj: Loyal Dog Waits as Family Deals with Medical Bills

Ella lovingly gathered some of her family's belongings to comfort her while she waited for their return.

Hi Sharon,

When Kathy spotted an emaciated Rottweiler along the side of a highway in Tennessee, she realized that there was something different about "Ella." Ella was friendly and eager for attention -- behavior that is unusual for either a stray or an abused animal. She had clearly been loved by someone.

In the wooded area just off the highway, Kathy discovered a "nest" where Ella had been sleeping (pictured here). It was strewn with someone's personal items, including a toothbrush, razor, comb and candle.

Then Kathy remembered something crucial. A few weeks earlier, a terrible car wreck had taken place on the highway... very close to where Ella had made her makeshift home. Kathy contacted the state's highway patrol and learned that a family had been in the car, and that they all survived.

Rescuers had never seen Ella, who had likely been thrown from the car. The dog foraged on her own for a few weeks, drinking from a drainage ditch and patiently waiting for beloved family members who thought their special pet was dead!

American Humane stepped in when they learned that the family's medical bills had caused tremendous financial strain. The money they had set aside for a new home had to be used for medical bills instead. While the family struggled with this financial hardship, American Humane provided a critical grant to Kathy's animal shelter to help fund Ella's care.

Though unable to bring Ella back into their new home at this time, the family was thrilled to see her and hopes to be reunited for good in the future. Meanwhile, Ella is living safely and comfortably in a loving foster home.

During this month of giving thanks, please consider a donation to help fund American Humane's Foreclosure Pets Grants. A single act of generosity -- no matter how small -- will make a tremendous difference for pets like Ella, whose families are undergoing extreme financial hardship. Get started >>

With gratitude,
