A few days ago, we visited Eleanor "Ellie" Roosevelt to celebrate her one year anniversary in her adopted loving home!

On Thanksgiving Eve 2007, Ellie was hit by a car on the FDR Drive in New York City. Her back legs were paralyzed, hip was dislocated and she almost went into shock. But thanks to donations to Shelter Showcase, and the dedicated love and hard work of Dr. Karen Dashfield, along with donated physical therapy time from Canine Aquatics in Randolph, NJ, Ellie is now walking AND running!

This video shows Ellie seeing Dave, one of the two Shelter Showcase volunteers who rescued Ellie, for the first time since she was hurt. Ellie isn't always fully comfortable around new men, but she seems to have a special warmth for this rescuer!
