About Ella

Ella is a delightful 2-year-old shepherd/boxer mix who has captured the hearts of her shelter caretakers with her sweet temperament and quirky antics. She was recently brought to the shelter along with her sister, Stella, after their owner had to move to a pet-free location. Ella is known for her lovable personality—caretakers describe her as "a hoot!" and "so incredibly sweet!" She’s confident and laid-back, adapting quickly to the shelter environment without any acclimation period required. Her leash manners are excellent, and she knows basic commands, which makes her easy to guide on walks. Ella enjoys playing in the water, exhibiting a funny "biting drinking" behavior with the hose that is sure to bring a smile to anyone watching. While Stella is the more active sister, often caught fetching toys or rummaging through bins, Ella prefers leisurely strolls followed by a comfortable flop on a cool floor. She’s always ready to recharge and jump back into fun. Ella's adoption fee is $155, which contributes to her care, including spaying, microchipping, and vaccinations. This charming girl is not just a lovely dog—she is also house trained and good with children and other dogs. If you’re interested in making Ella a part of your family, consider submitting an adoption application! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
