Zella's Story

Hi there, I’m Zella! <br/><br/>I’m a 2-year-old mixed breed girl weighing in at about 58 pounds — but don’t let that fool you, because in my heart, I am definitely a lap dog. If you sit down, I will happily try to climb right in and soak up all the love.<br/><br/>I’d prefer to be the only dog so I can have my people all to myself, but I can absolutely co-exist with calm, respectful dog friends who understand personal space while I’m settling in. I like my peace, my routines, and my cozy moments.<br/><br/>Cats, however, are not my thing — I just can’t help myself around them — so a cat-free home would be best for me. I adore teenagers and have done wonderfully with them, and while I haven’t spent much time around younger kids, I might do just fine with respectful ones too.<br/><br/>My previous family described me as the perfect dog in every way... except for my enthusiasm about chasing their cat. I’m loving, loyal, affectionate, and ready to be someone’s best friend again.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a big-hearted cuddle bug who will fill your home with warmth and affection, come meet me today. I promise you won’t regret it.
