About Ella

Ella is a senior poodle mix looking for a quiet retirement home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by love. She beat the odds after landing on the euthanasia list, but she didn’t let that break her joyful spirit. After a medical tune-up and some TLC, Ella bounced back with tail wags and happiness for everyone she meets. At roughly 12 to 14 years old and about 14 pounds, she’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Vision and hearing aren’t her strong suits—she’s cataract- and hearing-impaired—but she gets around without much trouble. She lives with other dogs and cats and gets along with everyone. Her old knees and mild trachea issue don’t keep her down; she just needs a harness instead of a collar. Ella’s mostly toothless, but a little wet kibble and she’s happy to chow down. She doesn’t mind being handled and genuinely seems to enjoy her second chance at life. Her heart murmur is mild and doesn’t hold her back. Ella is not house trained at this stage, but she faces it all with patience and sweetness. She was born January 13, so she’s a Capricorn—no surprise she’s so resilient. Her next home needs to be just right for a very special senior. Click apply to start the adoption process.
