About Bella
Bella is a striking medium-sized brindle terrier mix who often gets the wrong impression at first glance. She can seem standoffish, but if you give her a few minutes, she lets her guard down and shows her sweet, soulful nature. Bella needs an experienced adopter who understands dogs with strong personalities and can work with her on leash manners and high food motivation. She’s smart, picks up on routines, and recognizes phrases quickly, which makes training easier for someone willing to put in the time. She keeps her kennel spotless and loves to be out walking or exploring, making her a great match for active adopters or hikers. Bella does well in playgroups with other dogs but should be placed in a home without cats or small children, as her protective streak is strong and she can be possessive of her person. Her expressive face and searching eyes make it easy to connect with her, and despite her young age, there’s a sense she’s an old soul just looking for someone to trust and bond with. She’s not thriving in the kennel; this is a dog longing for real companionship—a person willing to let her story unfold. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
