About Bella

Bella is a 6-year-old spayed female lab-bully mix with a solid build and a sleek black short coat. She’s been through a lot—rescued from a tough start, loved by her person for years, and now back in search of a new home after her owner’s health took a turn. These days, Bella spends her time thriving in doggie daycare, surrounded by dogs and caring people. She’s friendly, sociable, and always upbeat, greeting each day with playful energy and a steady supply of affection for anyone she trusts. She especially loves being a part of whatever you’re up to, whether that’s a good run or a lazy afternoon; expect plenty of sloppy kisses and gentle tail wags along the way. Bella’s confidence grows a little more each day, and her caregivers have nothing but praise for her resilience and heart. She gets along well with other dogs at daycare and genuinely wants to be your loyal sidekick. Bella is house trained and comes vaccinated and spayed, making her adoption-ready. Her adoption fee is $165, and she is waiting for her new family in Cincinnati, OH. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
