My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Della is a 5-year-old Pit Bull/Husky mix with a brain full of brilliance and a heart full of love. She’s been with us for 467 days—that’s 467 days of being a volunteer favorite, 467 days of walking her usual routes, and 467 days of dreaming about the great big world with a human of her own by her side.

Della is incredibly smart, deeply affectionate, and always ready for her next adventure. Whether it’s a hike through the woods or a car ride to anywhere, she’s all in—as long as it’s with you.

But finding the right home for Della has been hard.
She needs someone experienced, someone who understands that dogs like her—full of curiosity, loyalty, and energy—need structure and time to settle in. She’ll need a home without other pets or children, but if you give her your heart, she’ll give you hers a thousand times over.

She’s currently part of our Pawsitive Pawgress Program, which includes three free training sessions with KindK9s after adoption to help ensure she’s set up for success in her new home.

If you’re the kind of person who sees a dog like Della and knows her potential—please come meet her. 467 days is too long.
