Stunning girl Ella has started her search for a forever family. This lovely lady is all about the love and cuddles. Ella absolutely adores people so is looking for a home with adopters that can be around most of the day, leaving time could be built up, however company is one of her favourite things so ideally someone who is home quite a bit would be fantastic for her. Ella was previously an outdoor dog so will need some help transitioning to become an indoor pet, we don't think this will be very hard as she already loves her home comforts and spends lots of her time in our offices lounging about and greeting everyone with a lovely hello. Ella does well walking along side other dogs and is happy to have some walking friends, however she prefers all the attention on her so would be better suited to the only pet in the home. We know from her previous life she did chase sheep, cattle and cats so a home with no neighboring farms is a must. When Ella says hello she does like to jump up so we feel older teens ages 12+ is best. A nice secure garden for Ella to play in and help with her house training would be amazing.

Is Ella right for you?

Ella is a 5 year old Rottweiler x Husky who is just the absolute sweetest girl. Her happy energy and beautiful face would win any heart. She loves outdoor adventures and will happily jump up into the car, she is very mannerly when walking on her lead and loves to check in for a quick pat every now and then. Ella is also a certified treat connoisseur and is working hard for them with some tricks like sit and down, new adopters will need to be willing to continue some basic training with her. Ella is very worried by the vets and has found it difficult to be seen by our vet team at the rehoming centre, she does wear a muzzle for examinations so will need her new family to put in lots of work and have the patience and kind heart to help her overcome her fear. If you have a gentle manner, lots of love to give (and a treat jar at the ready!) then Ella could be the perfect fit on your sofa. Just fill in an application and don't forget to favourite 'Ella'

We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found …

We’ll review your application

We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re …

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.

We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together

If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.

We’ll support you to embark on a new life with your dog

When we’ve matched you with a dog, we’ll help you welcome them to your home. After adoption we’ll keep in touch to see how you and the dog are doing. If you need any advice or support, we’re just a phone call away.
