Story
Y’all heard it straight from our trainer’s mouth…Ella Enchanted is one of the best dog’s he has seen in a long time and someone better scoop her up! Trust us when we say, he doesn’t say that often. She can fit into any pack of dogs, she has a calmer demeanor, very dog friendly, loves the water, enjoys playing with toys, and loves people! If you have a “check list” of what you are looking for in a dog, Ella is going to check off every single one.
Watch her video and see for yourself how amazing and perfect she is: https://youtu.be/5Gnk-r2nmJ0?si=A--rkVdbP7wiCqJf
Ella Enchanted is a Aussie/lab mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 41 lbs. She is the perfect size, not too big, not too small, just the right size. Not only is she the perfect medium size, but have you taken a look at her eyes?! Ella has some of the most captivating eyes we have probably ever seen. It's no wonder her name has "enchanted" in it because her eyes will leave you enchanted.
Ella is very dog friendly and there hasn't been a dog that she has met that does not like her. She is SO good that she is even used and an assessment dog at the rescue. Which essentially means she is one of the very first dogs that greets a dog that we know nothing about to help us learn more about the dog coming into our program. She is incredibly respectful and patient with all different types of play styles, tolerant with even the pushiest of dogs, and is a calming comforting presence for even the shyest of dogs. She shares food, toys, and affection so gracefully too. Ella is not overly playful with other dogs, she is more of the hangout and enjoy the nice weather type of girly. When Ella does play, she has a gentle and bouncy play style and from what we have seen, she seems to enjoy playtime with young aloof playful dogs. If you don't have other dogs, that's totally fine! Ella does not need the company of another dog to help her feel comfortable and open up. She is a happy and sweet little lady all on her own and we're sure she wouldn't mind being the center of your world. Ella has also shown that she is comfortable around kitty friends. She met our house cat Biggie and she was so good around him and even shared playtime with him. We do not know if she has ever lived in a home with a cat before, nor can we guarantee things won't change once in a home. We do believe that with slow and proper introductions Ella has the potential to live harmoniously in a home with cats.
When it comes to training, Ella is a smart girly and treat motivated. She already knows some basic commands such as sit, is easy to walk on a leash, and she is crate and potty trained. Any future additional training you want to do with Ella will be so easy with her. Not only is eager to please and easy to love, but Ella is fetch superstar and loves to play with toys. She has the best time playing fetch with her people out in the backyard and loves shaking around those stuffy toys. She would be a great companion to have around if you work from home because she is quiet and will entertain herself with toys or snuggle up on the couch and snooze while you get your work done. She would also be a great little adventure buddy as well. She loves to explore and loves the water! So if you like to go explore the trails, take trips to the beach, or even enjoy camping, Ella will be the best pup to keep you company.
Due to Ella's easy and adaptable demeanor, there are a lot of different home environments that she would do great in. We can see her living in a home with a backyard and a pool (a kiddie pool will do just fine too), a condo, or even an apartment with adequate exercise. She is naturally a calmer girl so a walk around the neighborhood, or a quick game of fetch will be just fine to keep her happy and healthy. We have not yet seen Ella's with kids yet and we can absolutely test that for you with any age, but we do believe she would make a great family dog. She is so sweet, loving, and gentle that we are pretty certain she will extend that same approach to children.
We are willing to test Ella Enchanted with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
