Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gentle Heart, Curious Mind — Meet Ella
Ella is a soft, sweet girl with a gentle spirit and the most adorable little curly tail. She may be a bit shy at first, but her friendliness shines through once she feels comfortable. She approaches the world with quiet curiosity and a whole lot of heart.
Ella enjoys the company of other dogs and tends to be polite and submissive, happily letting her canine friends take the lead (and sometimes even the toys!). She’s been wonderful with other dogs in her home and is friendly with new people, warming up at her own pace. While she hasn’t spent much time with young kids yet, her calm, gentle temperament suggests she’d do well with respectful children.
Ella loves being outside - digging, rolling in the grass, and chasing balls around the yard (bringing them back is still a work in progress!). One of her cutest quirks is her love of collecting toys and piling them all into her bed like treasured belongings. She already knows her name and has learned “sit” and “spin,” especially when Pupperoni treats are involved.
Ella will thrive with a family that can keep her both physically and mentally engaged through exercise, enrichment, and positive training.
She's a tender, playful soul who’s still figuring things out - but she’s eager to learn and full of potential. With patience, structure, and love, she’s sure to blossom into an incredibly loyal and loving companion. 💕
