About Kela

Kela is about as easygoing as they come—a gentle giant who’s happiest tucked onto the couch, head in your lap, basking in attention after her favorite dinner walk. She came to the rescue weighing 146 lbs and, thanks to daily walks and a steady routine, now hovers around a much healthier 95 lbs. Calm and affectionate with a dash of stubborn princess, Kela thrives on simplicity: naps, belly rubs, and leisurely strolls. She’s social, soaking up every pet and scratch she can manage from neighbors during her walks, but prefers living with calm, older dogs and truly shines as the puppy whisperer when little ones are around. Her ideal adopter is someone who values quiet time but is up for low-key adventures—car rides, neighborhood walks, and lazy days in the sun. She craves routine, expects her post-dinner stroll, and takes pride in her full house-training. Not destructive when left alone, Kela knows how to savor her downtime and won’t say no to a good snack. Her heartworm treatment is complete, she’s spayed and up to date on vaccinations, and she’s ready for her own crew. Kela’s all about the balance between cozy contentment and small, joyful adventures with the humans she loves. Your new best friend is just one click away.
