Life for me has certainly changed since becoming a big sister, but at least my people still find time to take me to my grandparents house where I can run, play and soak up the rays...

About Me
- Ella
- I am a pit bull terrier mix. I was found in East New York with two broken elbows and a broken tail in March 2008. I was brought to Brooklyn Animal Care & Control by someone who cared enough to help me. No one knows my real story and how I got this way because I can't speak human, but the doctors suspect it was abuse. The breaks in my elbows were identical and so severe that it led them to believe that only a human could have inflicted it. The folks at ACC called the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals and told Siobhan Healy how I passed my behavior tests with flying colors, then she got one look at my cute face and that’s how I escaped being euthanized. I became a candidate for the Picasso Veterinary Fund which pays for lifesaving medical treatment for sick and injured animals. Around the same time, a woman in Brooklyn Heights was nagging her fiancé for a dog. He wasn’t entirely on board, but they did agree on a few things: it would be a girl, she couldn’t be too small, and she must be a rescue or at least come from a shelter. Luckily the Brooklyn woman dropped Siobhan a line around the same time that I came out of surgery… and that is how I came into Reedu and Jason’s lives.
