Meet the adorable Ella! 🌟 This sweet 1-2 year old, 14-pound black-and-white pup is a delightful mix with a touch of long-backed dog in her genes! Just look at those charming doe eyes, adorable freckles, and unique cow spots—she's simply a captivating little lady! ❤️ Now, don’t let her calm demeanor fool you! While Ella enjoys lively playdates with her furry foster siblings in the morning and around dinner time, she would much rather cuddle up cozily on the couch after her play sessions. This little couch potato loves to nap while her foster mom works from her home office—it’s the life, isn’t it? 💤 Ella’s journey hasn’t been easy. She was once one of the scared “Flea Market Dogs” rescued from Kentucky in late September. Having just had puppies, she wasn’t quite sure what to expect from humans, but with love and patience, she’s learned that kindness doesn’t hurt! It may take a day or two for her to warm up to new faces, but once she does, she transforms into a friendly, happy, snuggly companion. 🤗 This sweetheart is fantastic with other dogs! In fact, Ella would thrive best in a home with a confident canine buddy to help guide her as she transitions into her forever family. Right now, she’s still getting the hang of pottying outside and prefers to use potty pads in her foster home. 🚽 Ella is looking for someone patient and loving who understands that great things come to those who wait. With a sprinkle of kindness and consistency, you’ll be rewarded with a bundle of joy and companionship that will grow into an incredibly friendly and confident pet. 🐾 Make sure to apply through the Buddy App to give Ella the loving home she deserves! 🏠💞 Ella and her friends are all on this journey at a foster home-based rescue. Just a heads up: adoption requires a home visit, and families located outside of the Chicago area are unable to adopt. Thank you for your understanding!
