Ellie is a sweet and soulful Shih Tzu mix, approximately 5 years old, who has overcome unimaginable neglect and cruelty. Found with several other dogs, Ellie was in the worst condition—morbidly obese, her nails painfully curled into her paw pads, her fur so severely matted it was fused to her skin, and her body covered in urine burns and feces. It was clear she had known only a life of confinement, likely in a wire cage, used for breeding and deprived of love or care. But that life is behind her now. The team at Tails of Second Chances knew Ellie deserved more—and she’s been showing us every day just how resilient and special she truly is. Ellie is a gentle soul who adores her people. She’s not one for toys or high-energy activities, but if you're looking for the perfect cuddle buddy, Ellie is your girl. Whether it's curling up with a good book, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or relaxing on the patio at sunset, Ellie will be faithfully by your side. She gets along well with other dogs and even cats, though a home with calm, easygoing pets would be best for her temperament. Ellie has been diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, but she’s already on daily medication and responding beautifully. Her weight continues to drop at a healthy pace, and her mobility has improved significantly—she’s feeling better every day. What Ellie wants most is what she’s never truly had: a family of her own to love her, spoil her, and maybe take her on a few adventures too. Could that be you? If you think you’re Ellie’s forever, apply today and help her write the next (and best) chapter of her life.
