My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ella is a 4-5 year old female JRT that was rescued from the puppy mills of Pennsylvania. Ella has been in her foster home for over a year and is slowly making progress, and overcoming her fears. She does not like to be around children, and is terrified of men. Ella still won't come back in the house if there is a man holding the door open. Once she is in, she is a little more social, but her first choice is an all female family. Ella needs to be in a home with at least one other small, submissive dog as her companion. A fenced yard is a must, as she still gets skittish on a leash and tries to run, if something frightens her.

Rawhide Rescue opens its arms to many dogs who are from puppy mills, or large breeding facilities, where dogs are bred for profit and not love. These dogs are routinely killed after their breeding days are over, usually at about age five, but we have been able to rescue dogs from some facilities.

Puppy mill dogs are a special rescue, as they have spent the majority of their lives in cages, and have not been properly socialized around humans. Each dog's rehabilitation varies widely, but problems with housebreaking, timidity and poor health are common.

Check the events page on our website for more information and directions to our adoption events.

To adopt Ella, or any of our animals, please visit our website at www.rawhiderescue.org and download our Microsoft Word dog application or use our on-line application. Due to the volume of inquiries we receive, we can only respond to you if you have submitted a completed application.
