Meet Della! <br/>Age: Young Weight: 28 lbs <br/><br/>Good with: Cats, Kittens, and Kids Ideal Home: Only dog or with dogs who respect her personal space<br/><br/>If you are looking for a smart, loyal companion who will capture your heart from day one, meet Della! This 28-pound beauty has been thriving in her foster home, working hard with both her foster mom and a trainer to overcome her initial fears and anxiety. She has made absolutely incredible strides, and she is officially ready to find her forever person!<br/><br/> Della's Incredible Progress<br/>When Della first arrived in foster care, the world was a bit overwhelming—loud sounds would cause her to freeze, and she was hesitant to walk past the next driveway. Today? She proudly walks a mile a day!<br/><br/>Her growth doesn't stop there:<br/><br/>The Crate: She absolutely loves her crate—it is her safe space where she can relax completely.<br/><br/>Car Rides: While the car wasn't her favorite at first, she now happily jumps right into her car seat, ready to join you for an adventure anywhere.<br/><br/>Smart & Playful: She already knows how to "sit" and "lay down." She also loves playing fetch—shell catch her ball and bring it right back to you!<br/><br/> Personality & Favorite Things<br/>Della is a true shadow and a total lovebug once she knows you. Her favorite activities include:<br/><br/>Soaking up endless tummy rubs and snuggling up close with her person.<br/><br/>Playing with feline friends! She safely plays with the resident cats, and the household kitten is actually her absolute favorite buddy.<br/><br/>Keeping busy—true to her herding roots, she is an active girl who communicates her excitement (she can be a bit of a barker and an enthusiastic spinner when she's happy!).<br/><br/> Her Ideal Match<br/>Because Della still has a few lingering anxieties around large groups and sudden loud noises, she will do best in a structured, patient environment.<br/><br/>Other Pets: Della is fantastic with cats! However, she is not a big fan of other dogs getting into her personal space. She would love to be your solo canine focus, or live with a very laid-back dog who respects her boundaries.<br/><br/>Children: She is wonderful with kids, though her natural herding instincts will pop up, so a family familiar with herding behavior is a plus.<br/><br/>Diet: Della is a bit of a gourmet critic when it comes to her food! Thanks to a connection at a family pet store, her foster family has narrowed down what she loves, and her new family should be prepared to keep her on a high-quality diet she enjoys.<br/><br/> A Note from Her Foster Mom:<br/>"Della has a massive piece of my heart. Watching her transform from a fearful pup into a confident, mile-walking, car-riding companion has been a beautiful journey."<br/><br/>Please fill out an Adoption Application if you are interested in Della<br/>www.clancysdream.org
