One day in Texas, a small abandoned puppy took refuge under Abigail’s car, crying out for help. His frail, emaciated appearance was skeletal, a testament to his extreme weakness.

Compassionate rescuers approached, offering food and water while giving him space as he trembled in fear.

Finally, with their gentle encouragement, he found the courage to come out from hiding.

This is the story of rescuing Ellie.

When the puppy, later named Ellie, emerged from under the car, Abigail (Ellie’s rescuer) quickly put a leash on her.

Ellie was completely terrified. “She just cried in turtle mode,” Abigail told The Dodo.

But, at that moment, the most important thing was to get her to the vet as soon as possible. They thought he had parvovirus, a highly contagious virus that is deadly if treated.

Fortunately, it wasn’t parvovirus.

“Our vet told us that he had eaten so much salty food that his stomach hurt a lot. But in a few weeks it should be as good as new,” Abigail said.

The poor baby had survived in the trash for who knows how long, but luckily she made her way to the right person who was going to help her heal.

At the vet, Abigail found out that Ellie was only about six months old, so she was still just a baby.

Although you would never have known it from looking at her dry, flaky coat, Ellie was actually a Golde-Retriever mix.

During the first few days at Abigail’s house, Ellie was still quite scared.

“There was a total response the first few days. But he found out that we weren’t going to hurt him. It was really just a matter of trying to get her out of her shell,” Abigail said.

Growing up as a beautiful golden girl After a couple of days, she finally regained some energy to go out.

“The tee ball, he saw it and immediately got hooked. He wanted to play, he has it in him. From the beginning, it was much better,” Abigail said.

It was so cute to see Ellie play and act like a puppy should.

Little by little, she transformed me into such a happy and cheerful dog. His coat also improved and became healthier every day.

“We really made sure she allowed herself to feel comfortable.”

Now, Ellie is a completely different dog, almost unrecognizable. She became a beautiful golden girl with lush fur and a lot of personality.

He loves to walk in the car, stick his head and paws out the window and go to the beach.

The first time I took her to the beach to celebrate her recovery, she was the happiest girl ever.

“She started digging and went crazy running along the beach, looking towards the ocean. He loved it. “It was such a great moment for her.”

Ellie is a true fighter and worked hard to get to where she is now. I had an incredible recovery.
