Shepherd and Norwegian Elkhound Dogs Available for Adoption in Avon, Ohio

Nutella is an almost 8-month-old Elkhound/Shepherd mix with the perfect blend of sweetness and charm! This beautiful girl has a gentle, loving personality and is just waiting for a family to help her continue blossoming into her best self.

Nutella is incredibly friendly, though she can be a little shy when first meeting new people-but give her a little time and you'll quickly see her affectionate, happy side shine through. She thrives around other dogs and would love a canine companion in her forever home, but would also be okay as your one and only. She is also likely okay with cats.

This smart girl walks nicely on a leash and enjoys car rides, making her a great companion for both everyday outings and adventures. Nutella would do well in a home with respectful children who understand how to give her space as she warms up.
