Our Featured Adoptable Dog:

DELLA

  • Della is a 1-year-old deaf mixed breed who has spent most of her young life waiting for a family to call her own. She arrived at the Ranch at just 3 months old and, despite being a sweet, affectionate, and intelligent girl, she is still searching for her perfect match.

    Being deaf doesn't slow Della down one bit. She is observant, eager to connect with people, and learns by watching the world around her. She has all the ingredients to become an incredible companion for someone willing to invest a little time and patience in helping her reach her full potential.

    Della is still learning important life skills. She would benefit from structure, training, and guidance as she adjusts to life in a home. What she lacks in experience, she makes up for in heart.

    The right person won't see Della as a project—they'll see her as an opportunity to build an amazing bond with a dog who has been waiting far too long for her chance.

  • ✔ Someone who enjoys training and building a partnership with their dog

    ✔ A family that can provide consistency and structure

    ✔ An adopter who understands that young dogs need guidance as they learn household routines

    ✔ A home committed to helping Della succeed when left alone through gradual training and enrichment

    ✔ People who appreciate a dog that communicates a little differently

  • • She is affectionate and enjoys spending time with people.

    • She is calm and thoughtful rather than constantly on the go.

    • She gets along with many of the dogs she lives with at the Ranch.

    • She is smart and eager to learn.

    • She has overcome challenges that would have discouraged many dogs and still greets each day with a wagging tail.

  • Della doesn't need a perfect home.

    She needs a chance.

    Some dogs find their family in a matter of weeks. Della has been waiting since puppyhood. We believe her person is out there—someone who will look beyond her circumstances and see the loyal companion she's ready to become.
