I am so sorry to have to write this note to let you know that my precious Miss El has left me. She had cancer, and was doing well but when I came home on Tuesday afternoon she just went downhill so fast. By this afternoon she started to have pain and I could not bear for her to be in pain we could not manage so I had to make the final decision and let her go in peace.
She was so loved and I adored her. I miss her so much and thank you for allowing me to share my life with such a wonderful companion, I know she loved me and protected me.
Thank you again for the privilege of sharing her life with mine.
Ellie has been adopted! Congrats to her new family
Meet Ellie
Elie is a very sweet 5 year old, spayed female. She has been passed around from home to home but still is a happy, outgoing, friendly and somewhat talkative little Lady! Ellie is good with kids, cats and other dogs. She loves both men and women. She was an owner surrender because the owner said she just was not happy. Well, she is happy now that she is with other Borzoi! Ellie is currently being fostered in Rosharon, TX She is current on vaccinations, heart worm negative and micro chipped.
Ellie requires a home with another borzoi to be happy.
