Ellen Ballon Dante is the Founder and CEO of Deity Animal Rescue and is based in Los Angeles. After initially starting Deity as a jewelry line, she realized she could use the success that business was having to help raise money to rescue dogs. Already having worked as a volunteer in the rescue world, Ellen knew how much every dollar helps. Since then, the Deity Animal Rescue nonprofit has helped with hundreds of dogs.SOCIAL MEDIAWebsite - https://www.dogsavethepeople.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/dogsavethepeople/Twitter - https://twitter.com/dogsavethepplFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/dogsavethepeopleFEATURED LINKSDeity Animal Rescue on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/deityanimalrescueDeity Animal Rescue on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/deityanimalrescueDeity website - https://www.deitydogsandgoods.comStore Address:Deity Dogs + Goods148 South Doheny DriveBeverly Hills, CA 90211Deity Animal Rescue on Twitter - https://twitter.com/deityanimalresqDeity Jewels on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/deityjewelsLindsay Bird on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/birdandthedogsWet Dog candle - https://www.deitydogsandgoods.com/product-page/wet-dog-candlePuppy breath candle - https://www.deitydogsandgoods.com/product-page/puppy-breath-candle

You Got This w/ Ellen Ballon Dante

In this episode, Lauren chats with rescue experts who need help for a pup desperately  in need. Pet rescue shows both the worst and best in society and Merryweather a pup who is in a shelter in  St. Landry Animal Rescue tells both of those tales.   We chat with Larissa Wohl a Pet rescue expert who works for the Hallmark Channel who discovered Merryweather’s case when she was traveling to rural Louisiana. Merryweather on the surface appears to be a pup in a cage looking for a forever home like so many other pups. What you don’t see on the surface is that she was brutalized by a human who raped her and left her in a field. An animal control officer found her in a bad state but this dog like so many rescue dogs showed its resilience and came towards the officer who was offering help with a wagging tail.   Merryweather required 4 surgeries to mend all of the damage that was done to her. She is safe living in a cage but she is a brown pitbull in rural Louisiana. There are not a lot of prospects for her to begin the next chapter of her life in a forever home no matter how hard the shelter works.   Deity Animal Rescue in Los Angeles wants to give this girl a new lease on life. They want to transport her from Los Angeles and get her healthy to get her matched with a loving home. As a 501 c3 non-profit that helps pups find forever homes. Ellen and Lindsay from Deity share how people can help this incredible pup.   You can follow this story here: https://www.instagram.com/larissawohl/ https://www.instagram.com/deityanimalrescue/   Please share Merryweather’s story and help in any way that you can.  Remember that even if you are tight on funds the share button on social media is the most powerful tool for dog rescues to gain a village to help pups like Merryweather who could just become a statistic and a sad story!
