Della is a striking 6-year-old husky and pit bull mix with tan and white fur, waiting for her new beginning this spring in Milan, IL. Her personality unfolds in layers—shy at first, but deeply devoted and affectionate once trust is built. She seeks a calm, experienced adopter who understands her cautious nature and can give her the patience, guidance, and active lifestyle she needs. Outdoor adventures, long walks, and belly rubs bring out her best. Della must be your only pet and needs an adult-only environment where she can truly relax and bond. She doesn’t do well with other dogs, cats, or small children, so a quiet home without other pets is a must. Over her time at the shelter, she formed a special bond with Brian T. Parkinson, a dedicated volunteer who made it his wish to find Della a loving home. Honoring his memory, the team hopes this spring is finally her chance. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
