ELLA

Ella is an absolutely beautiful girl with a happy go lucky personality to match. She is estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old. She was taken in by the Humane Society as a cruelty case, emaciated and not trusting of people. After months of eating on a regular schedule and working with their behavior staff, it was time to see how she would do in a real home. German Shepherds being my favorite breed, I was asked to take her in as a Rescue. I was amazed at how far she had come since I first met her months before. In the several weeks she has been in our home with our dogs she has blossomed and her true colors are shining through. She is great with my dogs although she has a little more puppy energy and wants to run and play all the time and can sometimes annoy my adult dogs. When they tell her to back off she is sheepish and submits immediately, finding something else to do. She loves toys and bones and will occupy herself for hours with a chew bone. She has learned that there is more food and treats in the world then she could possibly eat so she has slowed down with gulping food and has learned to take treats and leave the fingers! I don't know how she would do with cats. She seems to get a little over excited when she sees my 4 lbs chihuahua but she is absolutely fine with my 10 lbs dog. Although I never promise housebreaking she has never had an accident in my house but I do supervise and take her out frequently. In typical shepherd fashion she is very obedient as long as she knows what you are asking of her. Ella has had a mini training session with a professional dog trainer and did great. She is now ready to move to the next and final step in the process, a forever home! If you would like to help Ella find her happily ever after, we would love to hear from you. adoption fee: 400
