💔 **Please keep Ellie Jae in your prayers** 💔
Dr. Williams came out today to check on our sweet Ellie Jae. As many of you know, Ellie Jae was born with special needs — a mouth deformity, neurological struggles, and her signature “boot scooting” way of getting around. Through every challenge, she has shown nothing but joy, light, and resilience.
Ellie Jae is not just another animal here. **She is the heart and soul of Ark Rescue. She is the reason we do what we do.** Her spirit embodies our mission — that every life matters, no matter how big, small, young, old, or different.
Today, Dr. Williams discovered that Ellie Jae has developed abscesses with necrotic tissue, and surgery is the only option to save her life. Because of her mouth deformity, anesthesia is very risky — but without surgery, she has no chance. With heavy hearts but unwavering faith, we agreed, because Ellie deserves her chance to keep fighting.
Dr. Williams has secured the very best vet techs and made every possible preparation to keep her safe. We trust her and believe in the strength of our girl. 💙
After surgery, Ellie Jae will need a special house for recovery, strict containment, and ongoing aftercare.
We are asking for two things:
🙏 Please surround Ellie Jae with prayers, healing energy, and love as she faces this critical surgery.
💙 If you feel moved to help, donations toward her surgery, recovery house, and aftercare would mean the world.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 💙🐖
