Meet Bella, a delightful petite 13-month-old Malinois mix with a heart as big as the world! 🌍❤️ When she arrived at the shelter on December 26, Bella was just a shadow of her vibrant self, weighing only 20.1 pounds. But, with the love and care she desperately needed, she's now a gorgeous 27 pounds and on her way to a healthy 32! Bella is an affectionate and playful young pup who absolutely loves people. From the moment you meet her, she lights up the room with her enthusiasm! Yes, she may be a bit shy when first introduced, but just give her 15–20 minutes and watch her transform! 🕒💖 She quickly warms up, ready for playtime and those heartwarming connections we all crave. Now, Bella is still on her journey of learning the ropes—each day brings her impressive progress! She's making strides in house training and thrives on a consistent schedule, helping her develop into the wonderful companion she was meant to be. She walks beautifully on a leash, making every outing a joy. As a young pup, Bella will flourish with continued guidance as she grows and discovers this beautiful world. And oh boy, does Bella have a hearty appetite! 🍽️ This girl can eat like a champion—she's devouring more than a 70-pound dog at mealtimes, making sure to catch up after her tough beginning. Rescued from a San Bernardino shelter where she faced euthanasia, Bella’s journey to safety is nothing short of a miracle, thanks to a dedicated volunteer. Now, she’s fully vetted and ready to find her forever family! She has so much love to give and deserves a nurturing home where she can flourish and feel safe. Note: Due to her prey drive, a cat-free home is best for our Bella, although she might coexist with a dog-savvy feline. 🐾 All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and six months' subscription to make life all the easier!
