Story
Our family adopted Ella 7-8 years ago. She has been a great addition to our family. Ella does require special attention due to her allergies. Currently Ella is on a grain free diet of duck. She should be with a family that has a lot of land, where she can run freely. We can’t contain Ella in our backyard, she is constantly jumping our fence, even after several training attempts. We are afraid she will get hit by a car. She does not like storms or fireworks. Ella is very loving and great with kids and other pets. We love her but know she isn’t living her best life, having to be an inside dog.

We don't know much about her background, but we do know that she is a sweet, snuggly girl who is going to be a great dog for her new family. Olive loves to play with toys of all kind, and even at her young age, has pretty much mastered the art of Fetch.
