Etta James LaDye is my loving XXL Bully breed rescue who has already overcome so much in her short life. I found her at the East Valley Animal Shelter after she escaped a difficult situation where she was used for breeding. At just about three years old, Etta had already had an estimated three litters of puppies and was in rough shape when I brought her home. She was very shut down at first, but with time, patience, and lots of love, she has blossomed into an amazing companion. Etta has fit right in with my other rescue pups, showing everyone what Big Girl Love truly means. She’s gentle and caring with her little brother and sister dogs, and it’s been incredible to watch her discover the joys of a safe, loving home—especially the comfort of a couch, instead of the hardships she once knew. Recently, Etta underwent double TPLO knee surgery to address serious mobility issues. Now, she needs in-home therapy, including laser treatment and acupuncture, to help her heal and regain her strength. These treatments are essential for her recovery, but they come with significant costs. I’m reaching out to our community for help so Etta can get the care she needs to live the happy, pain-free life she deserves. Any support for Etta’s healing journey would mean the world to us. Thank you for helping her get the second chance she deserves!
