I’d brought my son down to the yard for a visit & she immediately took to Ellis. We said she was a keeper and it was always so lovely to see her out & about. RIP sweet girl,” joined a third. “Awww so sorry to hear this. Thinking of you at TVP and everyone involved with caring for her. Sending love and hugs to everyone,” expressed a fourth.
