Notes: Ella May #592700 is a very sweet, affectionate, and submissive Shepherd mix who thrives on human companionship. She loves to be near people and will let you know (vocally) when she wants attention or needs to go outside. Ella is fully housebroken and has shown great toy manners, playing with a fun, zombie-like style and easily giving up toys when asked.

She has a strong pull on leash and will do best with a harness for walks. While she is loving, she can be a little nervous at times, so we recommend a home without small children.

Ella recently met a medium-sized, intact female Husky and did wonderfully, she was playful, energetic, and very friendly, showing great potential for dog companionship with the right introductions.

If you are looking for a loyal shadow with a big heart and even bigger cuddles, Ella could be your perfect match! Adoption fee $25

Adoption fee $25 . We accept cash, check, credit and debit cards.
