About Ellie
Ellie was a dog who inspired a mission. Her family knew what it means to face an unexpected veterinary bill and feel alone. The fund that carries her name makes sure no other family faces that moment without support.
Ellie’s Rainy Day Fund connects families in crisis with the care their pets need, funded by a community of donors who believe every pet deserves a chance to come home. Every Love Story is a testament to what Ellie started.
So far the fund has helped 575 loved ones and spent more than $1.2 million on critical veterinary care. Ellie’s name lives on in every pet that makes it home.
