Ella is a one-of-a-kind dog with a lively, joyful spirit and a truly unique outlook on life. Toys are her greatest passion—she’ll entertain herself for hours, often breaking into a playful happy dance that’s absolutely contagious. If there’s water to splash in, you can count on her to leap right in, and she never says no to snacks. Ella didn’t have the easiest start and came into rescue as a pup after a medical emergency, but she’s resilient and her warm, humorous personality now lights up any room. She’s what some might call neuro-diverse—her behaviors don’t always match other dogs, and she’ll show her excitement with circling or figure eights and sometimes finds it hard to focus. She’s had some good experiences with calm, respectful dogs and may do best as either the only pet or with a gentle canine friend, but she doesn’t get along with cats. Ella needs a quiet, understanding home—either adults or older, patient kids—where her quirks are celebrated and her boundaries are respected. The right match will find in Ella a loyal walking buddy, a gentle couch companion, and someone guaranteed to spark laughter each day. Every rescue has its own story—Ella’s is one of courage and charm. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
