Update
“Ellie had a much needed dental done last week… had 12 teeth pulled. Now she has a new halo to keep her safe. We are just trying to make her life more comfortable as she is not only a “senior” but also a “special”. We will be kicking off our new “Oda Mae Memorial” project that will help seniors & those with special needs. Ryan Guillory & his wife, Jenny Schuster will be Co-chairing this project. Please contact them if you’d like to help.”
Backstory
“Hello my name is Lindsey and I work with a rescue called Tails and Trails in Greenwood, IN. We have recently pulled an 11 year old blind dog named Ellie from a local kill shelter. Ellie was born without eyes.
Ellie has been my foster for a few days and I have been researching what all available options there are out there to keep blind dogs, like Ellie, safe. I found your dog halo and was interested in getting her one. I noticed that you occasionally donate them to re…scues and I was wondering how to go about getting one donated. We are a 501 c3 nonprofit organization.
We are an all-breed rescue, located on the south side of Indianapolis, with a soft spot for the herding breeds. Most of our rescued dogs are pulled from high-kill shelters in Indiana & surrounding states. As of September 2015, we have placed 140 dogs in loving homes. There were 222 lucky dogs rescued.
Ellie, an 11 year Border Collie Mix was surrender by her owners to local animal control after their divorce. Ellie was immediately put on the urgent euthanasia list due to being completely blind. Ellie was born without eyes. She was placed in the AC officer’s office, knowing that she would not do well on the kennel floor. If she had not been rescued quickly she would have been euthanized. She is a very active & loving young lady. ”
