Bella is a one year old lab mix that spent the first ten months of her life chained in a front yard with only a plastic doghouse for shelter. She is very fearful and unsure of new humans, but by day two of knowing you she wants to sit on your lap or cuddle on the couch. She is very loyal and sweet once she warms up. Bella is an extremely smart girl. She learns commands very quickly. She does very well in a crate and is mostly house trained. She is very eager to please. She is learning to walk politely on a leash, knows sit, come, stay, leave it, and kennel. She does ok with other dogs, but needs time to get comfortable. Bella LOVES to run, a fenced yard is a must. She is her happiest when she can run freely around the yard. The ideal person for Bella would be someone who would be very patient with her. Someone willing to take things very slow. Someone willing to come visit her in her foster home and give her a chance would be a bonus. Bella needs someone who will be consistent, someone willing to work with her, and someone who will give her positive reinforcement to help build her confidence. Bella is waiting for her perfect human, she is ready for her forever person to give her the love and attention she deserves.
