ELLA is a gentle, resilient little dachshund mix who's come a long way in foster care. Once too scared to even come inside, she now seeks affection on her own terms and loves curling up in a warm lap for hours once she feels safe.
Personality:
Shy at first, but blossoms with patience Sweet, passive with humans-never snarls, loves being held like a baby Curious and playful, especially with other dogs (though she can be cranky if not in the mood) Rarely barks, making her a peaceful companion Quirks & Charms:
Adorable one‑up, one‑down ears and a gorgeous coat Burrows under blankets like a true dachshund Eats politely with other dogs and isn't picky about treats House‑trained and uses the doggie door confidently Needs: Bella has experienced trauma, so she'll thrive in a very patient, understanding home. She may try to hide or slip away during transitions, so a secure, well‑fitted harness is essential. Walks are still a work in progress-she's more excited about car rides and backyard adventures than sniffing on leash.
Best Home: A calm, loving household that can give Bella time to trust and show her affectionate side. Once she bonds, she's incredibly loyal, cuddly, and will happily spend the night snuggled close. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 17.2 Age: 3yrs 2mths 0wks

Additional adoption info
We test animals for the following:
Dogs: Good with other dogs, possibly cats, food aggression, walks on leash, noting any other attributes we may know.
Cats: Good with other cats, litter box trained, noting any other attributes we may know.
We cannot test if any animal is good with children. We may know if an animal is possibly house trained, but cannot guarantee any animal in the shelter is house trained. We do not know if a dog is good with cats unless we are advised by a person surrendering the animal. We may have an idea of this depending on how the dog reacts to our community cats that live on the property.
Please visit our website for current fees, and to find out about adoption specials! (The website link is at the top and bottom of this page)
