Everypawdy, meet Della! Della is a medium sized jindo mix girl who was admitted to the shelter in July 2023 at around 5 months old with her sister, Ella. These two sweethearts have grown up behind shelter kennel walls and unfortunately have not had too many opportunities to come out and experience the world outside of their kennel, and so they are still learning how to let their guard down in unfamiliar areas. However, we have seen Ella and Della open up tremendously after just a short trip outside, and we can tell that they have some really lovely personalities hidden just beneath the surface! They relax when we hold them, and they will sometimes even reward us with tiny kissies and nuzzles to show us that they are trying their best to grow confident and show their love.
Compared to her sister, Della has a slightly more rounded teddybear-like face and takes a little more time to open up to people. She gains trust a bit more easily though when treats are around! All of the loud barking noises in the shelter have been stressful for Della and she could really use a nice relaxing quiet home where she can be given the time and patience she needs to come out of her shell and build trust with a loving, patient human.
Della seems like a like truly lovely pup who simply hasn't had the right conditions to thrive yet. We know that she can be a great and loyal companion if only given the chance to experience a loving home where she can receive the love and patience she has missed out on until now. Della gets along with other dogs and so she would probably do well in a multi-pet home. If you’d like to give Della the second chance that she truly deserves, please send us an adoption application and we’ll help you get started on the adoption process!
