Pet's Story
Ella Bella Cinderella (Ella, for short), is the third female rescue Rottweiler owned by the Line family. Ella is the sweetest, most submissive girl who was #14 and the runt of a litter born in Augusta, Georgia. Ella's original owners did not plan to breed their dogs, but when the extra large litter was born, they worked hard to find safe homes for all the puppies, because this breed is vulnerable to dog fighting rings and poor outcomes. When they learned that Ella's proposed new family was planning to breed her, they cancelled the agreement and began looking for a new family. Because Ella is on the small side for a rottie, breeding would have been dangerous for her. That is when the original owners found the Line family who would love and cherish Ella forever and never breed her. For the last four years, Ella has lived in Dahlonega and she has loved many children, other dogs, and cats. Her favorite places to hang out in Dahlonega are the downtown square, R Ranch, and the Community Helping Place, where she sometimes volunteers as a receptionist and greeter in the front office. Ella is a graduate of Adams Canine Behavior School and a candidate for Canine Good Citizen. She is a happy, smiley girl who loves popcorn, children, stuffed animals and all pork products.
