Ella is an energetic and loving 9-year-old dog with a goofy personality that's hard to resist. Standing just under 2 feet tall and weighing around 40 lbs, she's sleek and muscular, sporting a tricolor coat of brown, black, and white. Despite her age, she is lively and playful, always ready to engage in tug-of-war or fetch. Her inquisitive nature makes her want to be wherever you are, and she even gets along well with the three cats in her current foster home. It's worth noting that while Ella has never lived with children, she's friendly and tends to be calm around neighborhood kids. She requires an experienced owner who can provide consistent training, as she's food motivated and picks up new tricks quickly, though she can be stubborn and need some patience to focus. Ella plays well with other dogs, although larger dogs can sometimes pose a challenge for her, and she has a knack for diffusing potential conflicts. If her new family works full-time, she’ll benefit from having a canine companion to keep her company. Currently in Oakland, CA, Ella is fully house-trained, spayed, and ready to find her forever home where she will be cherished. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
