Description:

Della (or “Della-Doo” as her foster mom calls her) came to MARS in April 2014 and was so scared that she would barely pick herself up off the floor enough to walk. When her foster mom brought her home, the resident dogs (and cats) all rushed to meet “the new girl”, and Della perked right up. The first couple of weeks Della was too nervous to go up and down the stairs. One day Della mustered up the courage to go up the stairs with the other dogs, and a few days after that, she made it both up AND down the stairs all by herself!

Della was soon introduced to the doggie park and she LOVED it. She immediately made lots of new fur-friends of all sizes. Della has started doggie-school, and the first few sessions have mainly been aimed at helping her feel more comfortable in unfamiliar environments. It would be to Della’s benefit for her new family to enroll her in a basic obedience class so that she can keep learning some basic commands.

Della can sometimes be a little shy around humans, but it doesn’t take her long to seek out their attention.

In her forever home, Della will require another canine friend who can continue to help her experience the perks of being a dog along with showing her the world isn't such a scarey place, and also a patient owner who will love Della to the moon and back and continue to show her the good life.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
