About Adele

Meet Adele! Adele is a 12-14-week-old Shepherd mix with the sweetest personality and a heart full of love. At around 20 pounds already, this beautiful girl will likely grow into a medium-to-large-sized companion.

Adele's favorite things in life include belly rubs, playing with her K9 foster siblings, carrying toys around the house, and happily chewing on her favorite chew sticks. One of her cutest habits is proudly trotting around with a plushie in her mouth wherever she goes. It's impossible not to smile when you see her!

This affectionate pup loves people and is always ready for cuddles after a good play session. She's doing a great job with potty training, walks nicely on a leash, and is already learning basic manners like "sit." At bedtime, Adele settles in and sleeps quietly through the night like a champ.

With her gentle nature, playful spirit, and eagerness to learn, Adele is the perfect mix of fun and sweetness. She's ready to find a family who will give her plenty of love, belly rubs, and a few plushies to carry around.

Could Adele be the missing piece your family has been looking for?

Our adoption process is usually quick but may take up to two weeks. When you find an animal you are interested in, we ask that you fill out an application on our website, PawsUp4Rescue.org/adopting as a first step so we can determine if your family is a good fit for the animal. If you are, then we will contact you to arrange a time for you and your family to meet the animal so you can decide if it is a good fit. If you currently have dogs, we require them to be present at the meeting to ensure it's a good fit all around. Once compatibility is determined, we move on to the paperwork and finalize the adoption.

If the meet is not a good fit, we will keep your application on file for 6 months and will gladly consider your family for another dog.
