Ella was initially found wondering the streets as a stray with a senior beagle friend. She is a total love bug that gets along beautifully with people of all ages, an array of other dogs ranging from small to gentle giants, as well as older dogs and passed the cat test flawlessly. We believe she would prefer a dog companion to keep her company and serve as a playmate. Ella will pair well with nearly any dog due to her sweet and submissive nature and her desire to play. As much as Ella loves her dog friends, she also adores human attention. She absolutely loves to be loved!

Adorable Ella is nearly perfect, with one exception which we would have never suspected until our vet pointed it out. Ella has a luxating patella. It is not an uncommon finding and does not present any health concerns. If you are not familiar with this condition, please visit the following link for an overview: http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/treatment-options-for-the-luxating-patella/. We do not suspect any issues going forward; however, it is also not impossible. Smaller dogs are thankfully less likely than larger dogs to have complications in the future.

If you think Ella may be the perfect addition to your home, please submit your application today! We can assure you, Ella will add a wonderful touch to your family!
