Adella - Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Chestertown, Maryland

Adella is a 4monthold Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her puppy paws. While the Adella from The Little Mermaid might be a little boy-crazy, our Adella is completely people-crazy, she adores anyone and everyone she meets.

This sweet girl is the definition of a social butterfly. Her siblings may wrestle and play for hours, but Adella prefers to get her wiggles out and then settle in with the humans for cuddles, attention, and companionship. Shes happiest when she's near her people.

Adella is still working on her housetraining and basic obedience, but she's young, eager, and ready to learn with a patient family who can guide her as she grows. Thanks to her age and gentle nature, she does well with kids, cats, and other dogs.

Adella is looking for a loving home where she can continue to grow, learn, and be the affectionate, people-loving pup she was born to be.


Adella's adoption fee is $300, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.
