Story
Ellie ( Female ) TERRIER mix - Born 6/2023 - 28Lbs Introducing Ellie - this young girl was found as a stray in rural Oklahoma. she had an eye condition impacting her right eye, which is usually correctable with surgery. however, given that her eye went untreated for so long, our veterinarian deemed the best route would be to have it removed. This hasn’t slowed her down one bit! Ellie is an absolute ham - she loves running hot laps in the yard and will do anything for a nice belly rub.
