Beneath the mounds of matted fur, an adorable dog waited to break free.  She had clearly suffered for a long time, but now that she’s been groomed and is happy in a loving new home, her smile stretches from ear to ear!

Ellen was very lucky to be saved by Trio Animal Foundation in Chicago, because they gave her the care that the underfunded open access shelter simply wasn’t able to provide.  Because of TAF, Ellen is healthy and loved today.  Her happiness makes our hearts smile!
