Ellie was found abandoned at a gas station when she was only six weeks old.
When she was brought to the shelter, staff quickly noticed that little Ellie was
exhibiting symptoms that were likely neurological. While other shelters may have
immediately euthanized Ellie, shelter staff saw what a will to live sweet Ellie had
and reached out to our friends at Itsie Bitsie Rescue to see if they’d be able to
take her into their life-saving programs. Itsie Bitsie Rescue said they’d love to take
her in, but due to recent medical cases, they were short on funds. Rescue
Coordinator Shasta reached out to TEAM to inquire if we’d be willing to partner
with Itsie Bitsie Rescue to help provide for Ellie’s medical care! We of course said
yes! Foster Coordinator Jami worked to get little Ellie into temporary foster care
until Itsie Bitsie found a foster for her.

Itsie Bitsie Rescue and TEAM worked together to fund an MRI at the UC Davis
Veterinary Hospital to help determine the cause of Ellie’s symptoms. The MRI
showed a malformation of the brain, which explains her wobbly movements. But
she is expected to live a full, long life and make great progress in her movement
with physical therapy!
