About Bella

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! All of the animals posted by this rescue have been temperament tested, and if you are approved to adopt, arrangements will be made to bring Bella to your area for a meet and greet. While more than one application can be received, rest assured your candidacy is considered with care until an adoption is finalized. Bella is about 9 years old and still full of youthful spirit! After spending nearly eight years in a loving home, Bella now seeks a family where someone is home for most of the day. She is a mixed breed, thought to be a blend of Beagle and Brittany Spaniel, and has benefited from extensive training. Bella knows a variety of commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, touch, come, place, and crate. She's house-trained, crate trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. Recently vetted, she enjoys a clean bill of health and is up to date with her vaccinations. Bella is known to be fantastic with people and children, although she is a bit reserved around babies. Her return to the rescue was due to separation anxiety when left alone for extended periods—she may bark in her crate after a few hours even with medication. Her foster home manages her comfort with a medication that provides relief for a couple of hours. Bella is looking for a devoted adopter who is home most of the time or a long-term foster willing to give her plenty of companionship. Her loving foster offers ongoing support and even provides free boarding if ever needed. This is a sincere opportunity to welcome a sweet, loving, and devoted companion into your home if you have the time and heart to share with her. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
