My Story
Meet Zella, a precious Catahoula or Aussie mix born in early September. At just 5 lbs currently, Zella is the perfect little bundle of sweetness, with a gentle and snuggly personality that makes her easy to love. This little girl has started her vaccine series, is microchipped, and will be spayed when she reaches 6 months old.
Zella may start out a bit shy, but it doesn’t take long for her to warm up and show her affectionate side. She absolutely adores snuggling close for naps and is happiest when surrounded by people and other furry friends. Despite her uncertain past, she’s incredibly submissive and eager to please, as if she’s just waiting for the kindness she so deserves.
Zella is calm and adaptable, making her a great fit for many types of homes. She’s already taken to her foster’s toddler, following him around and hoping to make friends. With her tiny, “purse-sized” frame and fluffy coat, Zella will likely stay on the small to medium side as an adult. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just wants to be loved, Zella is ready to be your new best friend!
This sweetheart is ready for a forever home!

PLEASE READ BELOW:
If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to please visit our website to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt
**Please do not use the "Introduce Yourself" feature. The information needed to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application. All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info would be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the number of introductions/questions received (hundreds daily) we ask you submit an application on our website (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue).
The adoption fee for puppies covers initial deworming, puppy vaccinations, microchip, and spay/neuter at the rescue's approved vet at 6 months of age. Please see our website for more information.
2022 Adoption Fee Scale for non-benefactor animals:
Puppies under 12 months - $350
Dogs over 12 months - $250
For additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets, see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq
*Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters in Southeast Louisiana, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our puppies live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it’s the perfect match!
**Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as Pet Finder, and are no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed.
