Hella is one of those dogs who feels like sunshine in a small, snorting, wiggly package. She’s come to us from a breeder, but unlike many others, she’s known what it is to live in a home and be part of a family. And perhaps that’s why the shift into rescue has hit her just that little bit harder, she knows what she’s missing, and she longs to have it back.

Since arriving, we’ve seen all the layers of this brilliant little Frenchie start to unfold. She is clever, playful, and full of personality, her eyes are always sparkling with mischief or affection, and she brings energy to every corner of the yard. She has excellent recall and is very responsive, proving how much she wants to connect with her people.

Hella adores human company and soaks up cuddles like they’re the best thing in the world. And to her, they probably are. She’s happiest in your lap, nudging for just one more scratch behind the ears, and would thrive in a home where she can be someone’s shadow and best friend.

She can be a little bossy with other female dogs, so we feel she’d be happiest with a calm male dog companion or as the only dog in a home where she won’t be short of love and attention. She’s lived with children before and could do so again, ideally older and dog-savvy ones, and she’s even shared space with cats, provided they’re used to dogs.

Hella has a few quirks, some skin being treated for dermatitis, and a slightly fatty muzzle with teeth set a little further back, but none of these things hold her back. She doesn’t know she’s anything but perfect.

This girl is waiting for someone to see her for who she is: loving, loyal, a little clownish, and completely devoted. She’s ready to give her whole heart to the right person.
