Ellie came to us from the streets of San Luis Obispo via animal services in very bad condition. She is a great little dog. Sweet temperament. Her main skin issue remain so needs constant skin care from shampoos to lotions and we change to keep testing different options. Under our care, her hanging unsightly tumors were removed. One eye was removed and she was spayed. She is a very affectionate, alert and happy dog even given what she has been through. Special little gal and if you stand her now chronic and after much care will remain chronic, she is a nice companion. She does bark however and it is a loud bark and she is not housetrained.
