Ella is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross puppy. Ella cannot live with other pets or children under the age of 16 due to her grabbing behaviour. She will need a family committed to some proper training, as well as all her basics. A few meets at the centre will be required before she goes home, along with a one to one session with the Dogs Trust training and behaviour team.
