Meet Beautiful Bella! 🌟 This magnificent Mastiff mix is not just big in size but also big in heart! At 8 years old and weighing a whopping 110 pounds, Bella has a story that tugs at the heartstrings. She wandered onto a family's farm in Topeka in June 2023, looking disheveled and desperate, covered in ticks, perilously thin, and with worn-down teeth. Thankfully, this kind family took her in and reached out to The Ranch in August. After what felt like an eternity, Bella officially joined our loving family in May 2024, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait! 🎉 Over the past year, Bella has transformed beautifully. She regained her health, received the critical medical care she craved, and stole the hearts of every single volunteer. This girl adores belly rubs, can “sit” and “shake” like a pro, and delights in tackling treat puzzles—just watch her go! 🚗💨 And don't get her started on car rides; she’s a curious adventurer who loves to stick her head out (though, safety first—keep those windows just rolled up enough to keep her secure!). But let’s be real—Bella is a BIG girl with a BIG personality, and she has some specific needs. She requires a home that caters to her unique quirks. This beautiful soul is not the best buddy for other dogs, with the rare exception of her bestie ‘Buddy’ (yes, that's his name!). She has shown some barrier reactivity and leash pulling tendencies, and when she's bored, she might get a bit destructive—who can blame her? So, what does Bella need for her happily ever after? Her perfect home should offer: - A loving, single-pet environment (unless you can adopt her BFF, Buddy!) - A large fenced-in yard to frolic freely - Someone who can shower her with love and attention—she truly thrives with companionship! - No trips to dog parks or off-leash adventures—safety is key! - Supervised car rides only (she's strong and curious!). - Older children only, since her size and strength can be a handful. Bella also needs some ongoing care for her eyes and ears, but she doesn't ask for much—just a reliable routine and a home that loves her unconditionally, even through the ups and downs of life. Now, this beautiful girl is waiting for her perfect match. If you believe you’re the one who can provide a nurturing home for Bella, don’t wait—apply through the Buddy App today! Bella is counting on you! ❤️
