Ella is a friendly, welcoming girl who seems genuinely happy to meet new people and be part of the action. She has done well with children of many ages, enjoys car rides, and already knows how to sit like a polite lady when asked. Ella sounds like the kind of dog who loves being included in everyday life, whether that means hanging out in the yard, riding along for errands, or eagerly greeting visitors at the door with a little extra enthusiasm. She also reportedly has a soft spot for stuffed animals, which honestly feels very on-brand for a dog who still seems young at heart. Ella does have several masses that will need continued veterinary follow-up, including one that showed concerning cells on an initial sample, so her adopter should be prepared for additional diagnostics and medical care. Despite that, Ella has remained tolerant and cooperative with handling and medical exams, showing a gentle and easygoing nature with staff. She would likely do best as the only pet or with careful management around other animals, especially during mealtimes, but for someone looking for an affectionate companion with lots of personality, Ella has so much love left to give. Dogs like her have a way of becoming deeply woven into the lives of the people who open their hearts to them. Adoptions are free and include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.
