Story
Meet Della, a beautiful 6-year-old Husky/Pit Bull mix who has been patiently waiting for her fresh start since April of 2024. After 840 days in the shelter, Della is still hoping that the right person will finally walk through our doors and see the incredible dog we know she is.
Della can be a bit shy at first, but she truly shines when given a gentle, patient, and understanding approach. Once she feels comfortable, she reveals her affectionate, cuddly nature and her love for outdoor adventures and belly rubs. Della would thrive with a dog-savvy adopter who can provide the guidance, patience, and active lifestyle she needs to continue building confidence.
Della is best suited for an adult-only home where she can be the only pet. Having a quiet environment and the opportunity to focus on building a strong bond with her person will help Della feel safe and allow her sweet personality to truly blossom.
Della’s story is especially meaningful to our shelter. She was deeply loved by longtime volunteer Brian T. Parkinson, who dedicated years to caring for our dogs. As shared in his obituary, “In keeping with his compassionate spirit, Brian’s final wish was to see Della, his favorite shelter dog, find a loving home.”
Since Brian’s passing in May 2025, Della has continued to wait.
More than two years have now passed since she first came to us. Through it all, Della has remained hopeful that her person is out there.
We would love nothing more than to honor Brian’s memory by finally seeing Della find the loving home he wished for her. She has waited long enough. She deserves a home, a family, and someone who will give her the time and patience she needs to feel safe and loved. 🐾
We invite you to visit, learn more about Della, and consider opening your heart and home to this incredibly deserving girl. Can't adopt her? Please share! ❤️
