Mary Hickie, owner of Port Stephens Animal Refuge, described the eight-year-old female dog as “lovely” after she was surrendered to the pound.
“She’s a RAAF transfer,” Ms Hickie said. “Her owner couldn’t keep her, which is a shame. She’s a lovely girl.’
Ms Hickie said Ella would be suitable for any family as she has been well cared for and trained well.
“She’s not a problem,” Ms Hickie said. “She would settle in well anywhere.”
Ella has the energy of a Labrador but she is not “over the top”, Ms Hickie said.
Ella will cost $285 to adopt from the refuge, which covers vaccinations, desexing, microchipping and a lifetime registration.
