Ellie is a nine-year-old English Springer Spaniel. Originally adopted from CAPS in 2018, she had a home until her owner passed away. Adopted again, Ellie’s new owner fell ill and so did Ellie. Recently diagnosed with diabetes, Ellie has come back to CAPS. We are now looking for someone who will foster Ellie. She needs insulin shots twice a day. Ellie is great with children, dogs, and everyone she meets. She does not fuss about getting shots and is looking for a home to give her a new lease on life. CAPS will provide medications.

Watson here, and I just talked to my pal Buddy. Poor guy! While he was camping, he burned his paws on the hot cement. It occurred to me that maybe I should teach folks about the remarkable pup paw.
