Ella is an affectionate, high-energy girl with the heart of an athlete and the soul of a loyal best friend. She loves a good run, enthusiastic games of fetch, and settling in with her favorite chew toy for a long nap afterward. When Ella bonds with her person, she really bonds — she wants to be by your side through it all. Ella will thrive in an active, experienced home that understands her needs. She does best as the center of attention and would love a securely fenced backyard where she can burn off energy. Because she can be selective with both dogs and people, slow introductions and clear boundaries are important for her success. Ella is also quite vocal and very playful — sometimes a little too enthusiastic — so apartment or shared-wall living isn’t ideal, and a home without young children would be the best fit. Ideal home for Ella: Active adopter who enjoys exercise and engagement Fenced backyard required No apartments, duplexes, or shared walls Dog- and people-selective Adults or older teens only Ella is full of love for the right person and is ready to give her whole heart to a home that understands her.
