Description:
Sweet Della is a beautiful shepherd/rottweiller mix. She is approximately a year old and weighs 49 pounds - but could stand to gain a few more. Della is spayed, healthy and up to date on shots and heartworm preventatives. She literally was rescued from a local area shelter on her last day. After being bathed and cleaned up, we discovered how pretty she was.                                                                                                                                                       Della is a sweet girl who most likely was "kicked around" in her past life, as she cowers easily. She needs a loving owner who can spend time with her and help her to feel safe again. She does well with her foster dog "brother", and is not aggressive with food, toys or rawhides. She is interested in the foster cats, but if she gets too inquisitive and they bat at her, she runs to her foster mom for protection. Della walks well on a leash, is housebroken (no accidents to date!), doesn't appear interested in chewing and learns quickly. She wants to please. She loves everyone and is gentle with children. She is responsive when called, but will need training on the basics - sitting, staying, etc. She really bonds quickly and wants to be with her person as much as possible - yet is quiet when left alone. She has not been crated, as she hasn't needed it - but would probably do fine in a crate. She also rides well, likes to sit quietly and look out the window.                                                                                                                                                       If you think you are the person to give sweet Della a forever home, please contact us. She is going to make some lucky person a wonderful companion!                                                                                                                                                       Our organization offers 24PetWatch microchips, which include free registration into the 24PetWatch pet recovery service.
