Ella

On March 7, someone in a partner community contacted our friends at Canine Action Project about a stray dog with a significant wound on her front right foot. CAP got her to a veterinarian, who stitched up her wounded toe. CAP then asked New Hope if we had a foster home willing to take her. Thankfully, one of our amazing foster homes said “yes” and the dog came in over the weekend.

Welcome Ella!

Her injury was significant: three-inch long, one-inch deep laceration through the pad of her third toe. It was stitched up by the vet and now, she needs to resist licking it – hurray for cones! The stitches can be removed in another week.

Our foster home writes that Ella is roughly eight months old and is absolutely adorable and full of love. She gains trust easily with a few scratches and learned that not all humans are bad. She has been introduced to several dogs and has no problems fitting in with play. Ella has begun training for boundaries and obedience and should learn quickly as she is very smart and highly food motivated.

Update: Ella’s toe is healing well and she is ready to find her family to run and play with.

Ella is our newest Guardian of Hope! To support her medical care as well as the care provided to our other Guardians, please consider making a donation to our Guardians of Hope fund. The entirety of your donation to this fund supports expenses for major medical care.

Thank you in advance for keeping our most vulnerable dogs under expert medical care.
